UPDATE: State Patrol says suspected drunk driver led police chase that caused I-25 closure

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - The Colorado State Patrol says it started with the report of a suspected drunk driver at 7:30 p.m. and ended with a police stand-off on I-25.

The State Patrol says it received a call on a REDDI (Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately) at 7:31 p.m., reporting a red Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck on I-25 just north of Second Street.

State Patrol then says its troopers started pursuing the vehicle after the driver refused to stop. CSP says that during the pursuit, the suspect rammed two patrol vehicles. It was after that when troopers performed what the State Patrol is calling a tactical vehicle intervention.

Once the vehicle stopped, a short standoff ensued. Dean Moore, age 60, of Colorado Springs, was taken into custody by law enforcement and taken to a local area hospital to be checked for injuries.
