SEATTLE POLICE ARREST 10 AFTER CLASHES IN CLEARED CHOP ZONE
The hit-and-run incident occurred shortly before midnight on Interstate 5 and the two victims, both in their 20s, were rushed to Harborview Medical Center, Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson said on Twitter.
Video of the crash on social media showed a white car striking the women, who flew into the air before landing on the ground.
The Seattle Fire Department said one of the victims was in critical condition while the other is stable with serious injuries.
State troopers and officers from the Bellingham Police Department chased the vehicle as it fled, and nabbed the suspect. Both he and his passenger were uninjured, Trooper H. Axtman said on Twitter.
The unidentified suspect -- a 27-year-old man from Seattle, according to The Associated Press -- was booked in the Whatcom County Jail. Police said he is the same person who attempted to elude officers in another incident two weeks ago.
