Two men were arrested after leading troopers on a chase on Interstate 95 that ended in Miami on Saturday, authorities said.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Miami Beach Police were attempting a traffic stop on a blue Mercedes SUV, but the SUV didn’t stop and drove off, heading west on State Road 826.

At one point, troopers pursued the SUV on I-95, and it exited onto Northwest 119th Street, where it crashed into another vehicle and continued driving.

As the pursuit continued, troopers initiated a PIT maneuver on the SUV on Northwest Seventh Avenue, stopping it.

The two men inside were then taken into custody, and a gun was taken.

FHP said that during the pursuit, a trooper discharged their weapon at the SUV, but didn’t strike the people inside or the SUV itself.
