At around 2:30 p.m. Monday, the officer was involved in a vehicle pursuit that resulted in a crash on Loop 202 near the 24th Street exit.<\/p>\n

Officials say just after 2 p.m., Mesa officers received reports of a man slumped over the steering wheel of a vehicle near Dobson Road and the U.S. 60. The vehicle left the area before officers arrived.<\/p>\n

A short time later, officers spotted the vehicle near Dobson and University Drive. When officers tried to stop it, the driver took off while going at a high rate of speed in a reckless manner, officials say.<\/p>\n
