The State Patrol was successful in stopping a motorist who was fleeing police on westbound I-494 in the southeast metro. The driver was stopped at Dodd Road and police now have the right lane there closed.
Traffic is stacking up quick with delays beginning at Pieper Road. Look for lots of activity. As for the nature of the pursuit, that's not entirely clear at the moment.
