The Charger attempted to flee from the trooper but lost control seconds later crashing near 23rd Avenue and Camelback Road. The driver and 3 passengers, all Hispanic males, immediately fled from the vehicle on foot. The driver was caught after a very brief foot pursuit and taken into custody. The 3 passengers are still outstanding. A Glock handgun and 3 large bags of what is suspected to be counterfeit fentanyl pills were recovered a few feet away from the vehicle. A short time later troopers located a small backpack containing an estimated $2,000 in cash inside the vehicle.
