Two suspects are on the run after police say they led officers on a chase early Tuesday morning.

Investigators say around 12:15 a.m. they spotted a truck in the QuikTrip parking lot at East Admiral Place and North Delaware Avenue.

Police say the truck came back as stolen when they ran the tag.

Officers tried to pull over the truck, but the driver took off, leading them on a short pursuit.

The driver eventually crashed about a half a mile from the QuikTrip near East Haskell and Delaware Place. The driver hit a fence, a concrete wall and a parked truck.

"I'm very fortunate because that's maybe less than 100 feet from my house where they came through that and it could have been a lot worse and came through my house," said Virginia Moreland who lives in the neighborhood.

Witnesses told police they saw a man and a woman jump out of the truck and run from the scene.

Police say the truck has been returned to the owner.
