ATLANTA - A high-speed chase involving a Georgia State Patrol trooper and two suspects has ended after a crash in Atlanta's Edgewood neighborhood on Monday.

Georgia State Patrol officials tell FOX 5 that around 1:05 p.m. a trooper attempted a traffic stop on a Dodge Challenge that was allegedly driving at high speeds on Interstate 75 northbound on Cleveland Avenue.

Instead of stopping, officials say the Challenger sped off, leading to a pursuit that continued in Atlanta near Turner Field and on Edgewood Avenue.

Both suspects have been transported to Grady Memorial Hospital before being transferred to jail.

Officials have not yet released the names of the suspects or their charges.
