At about 5:00 a.m., the Colorado Springs Police Department alerted troopers to an armed carjacking. The vehicle was a blue BMW X1 SUV. It was traveling eastbound from Lake and Broadmoor St in Colorado Springs.

Troopers found the vehicle on Highway 165, east of Colorado City, traveling eastbound. The vehicle then turned onto Interstate 25 and headed south at a high rate of speed. It turned around at milepost 65, north of Walsenburg, and began traveling north.

A Pueblo County Sheriff's Office deputy placed stop sticks in the road at milepost 77, north of Colorado City. The vehicle hit them. Troopers then performed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention at milepost 98, in the area of south Pueblo.

The Colorado State Patrol is the main investigating agency for the pursuit. Information about the carjacking in Colorado Springs is available from the Colorado Springs Police Department.
