A car that was fleeing from police struck a fire hydrant and flooded a street in central Tucson Thursday, authorities said.
One person is in custody, but police are still searching for another suspect, said Tucson police spokesman, Officer Dan Lucas.
Officers were attempting to make a traffic stop on the vehicle in the area of North Alamo Avenue, between East Fifth Street and East Speedway Boulevard, when the driver fled, Lucas said.
The vehicle didn't stop and fled from police, who chose not to pursue it, before the car struck a fire hydrant a short distance away.
Two people ran from the vehicle, and a male in his 20s was apprehended nearby. Police are still searching for the second suspect, Lucas said.
The flooding water from the hydrant break closed traffic on Alamo briefly, while Tucson Water worked to repair the damage.
