CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Several people are hurt after a police chase ended in a car crash in Chesapeake on Monday afternoon.

The Chesapeake Police Department said the pursuit began on Freeman Avenue shortly after 2:30 p.m. and ended on George Washington Highway, near Gilmerton Road. Investigators said officers had attempted to pull over a vehicle for a traffic stop, but the car did not stop.

Officials said the infant had been observed and treated for minor injuries and would be released Tuesday. The woman was said to be in stable condition, receiving treatment for moderate injuries.

The driver who led police on the chase, as well as several passengers inside that car, were also taken to the hospital.

Police said that the driver will face charges.

George Washington Highway was temporarily closed in that area.
