Two people have been arrested and three people sent to hospital after a two-vehicle crash on Route 1 on Monday afternoon.
Saint John police noticed a vehicle of interest around 2 p.m. in the city and tried to have the driver stop.
The driver did not and police pursued the vehicle into Rothesay.
The vehicle travelled to Route 1, travelling westbound in the eastbound lane when it struck a vehicle near Exit 133 at the Fox Farm Road.
An RCMP reconstruction team has taken over at the scene of the crash as it falls within their jurisdiction.
Police have no update on charges for those in custody or the extent of injuries to those taken to hospital.
Traffic is moving again on Highway 1 eastbound but, it’s slow-going for drivers in all directions with traffic backed up on the Rothesay Road, Loch Lomond Road and on Golden Grove Road.
