GRAND JUNCTION (KJCT) - A suspected drunk driver, Reggie Trujillo, 26, is in critical condition after he allegedly led State Troopers on a dangerous high speed chase through the streets of Grand Junction Tuesday night, ultimately crashing into a pole.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, a trooper attempted to stop a Trujillo on 32 Road near D 1/2 Road for suspected drunk driving when Trujillo attempted to elude the trooper going westbound on D road and then southbound on 29 Road.
Speeds reached up to 90 miles per hour before Trujillo crashed into a power pole and irrigation culvert just south of the intersection of 29 Road and B 1/2 Road.
The suspect was extricated from his vehicle and was taken to St Mary's Hospital in critical condition.
Charges are currently pending.
