One person is in custody following a multi-county, high-speed pursuit over Hoosier Pass.
Witnesses tell Krystal 93 a truck was speeding north on Highway 9 through Blue River, toward Breckenridge, when it lost control and careened into trees near Blue River Road.
Summit County Sheriff’s Office confirms the chase originated this morning in Teller County as a domestic violence report. The unnamed suspect was driving solo, leading authorities from Teller into Park County and finally into Summit, where the suspect wrecked and was taken into custody with injuries.

The lockdown was lifted at 12:53 p.m.
Highway 9 through Blue River remains closed for investigation. No estimated time for reopening.
