INDIO (CNS) – Two people were taken to a hospital Friday after a person suspected of driving a stolen vehicle crashed into another vehicle in Indio, terminating a pursuit by sheriff’s deputies.

Deputies found a stolen vehicle at around 11:30 a.m. Friday and tried to pull it over near Fred Waring Drive and Adams Street, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department public information officer Sgt.
