(CBS DETROIT) - Two people crashed into a building in Detroit after they fled state police for trying to initiate a traffic stop.
State police say troopers were patrolling when they noticed a driver speeding behind them, and the driver slammed on the brakes to try and avoid passing the patrol car.

MSP say they surrendered after realizing they had nowhere to go.
The driver was treated for injuries sustained from crashing into the building. The passenger was not injured.
