Car Crashes Into Building, Suspects Flee On Foot: Enfield PD

ENFIELD, CT — A state police pursuit of a car ended with a collision with a commercial building in the Hazardville section of Enfield, and two suspects fled the scene on foot, Enfield Police Chief Alaric Fox said.

At 2:46 a.m. Monday, an Enfield police officer observed what appeared to be a trooper in pursuit of a vehicle on Route 190 by Scitico Plaza. A few moments later, it was discovered the vehicle, a Volvo sedan, had run off the road and struck a Frontier utility building at the corner of Hazard Ave. and Randolph St., Fox said.

A delivery driver in the area reported seeing two people on foot running away from the area on nearby James St. Troopers and local police unsuccessfully attempted to locate the suspects using canines, and Enfield officers went to the address of the Volvo's registered owner to attempt to determine who was driving the car, Fox said.

The Hazardville Fire Department, just seven doors west of the Frontier building, responded to the scene and checked the building. The structure is reported to be sound, with only minimal damage, Fox said.

The incident remains under investigation.
