A high-speed chase on Interstate 94 involving a burglary suspect ended with two car crashes Tuesday afternoon.

Police said the chase began when the suspect was stopped for a traffic violation and was discovered to be a burglary suspect from a prior incident.

Lt. Matthew Langer, of the state patrol, said the pursuit began around 2 p.m. in St. Paul at I-94 and Lexington. The Minneapolis Police Department and the state patrol picked up the pursuit, along with another department.

The suspect crashed his vehicle near Brooklyn Boulevard and I-94. He suffered minor injuries and was taken into custody, Langer said. The chase also resulted in a second crash with a squad car from another department.

Thanks from Speedcat, who was stuck in a major traffic backup. BIG THUMBS DOWN!

I'd settled down with my faithful Spinoza to watch this night's episode of COPS, when I thought ...I wonder if Speedcat has something up his sleeve?

Sure enough ...my instincts proved correct!

How rude of the guy. He just doesn't know who he's dealing with.

Have a great day. Big hug. :)

Traffic jam is no good unless you put it on toast with some peanut butter. Then it is yummy! hee heee :D
