A short time later, dispatchers received 911 calls of a rollover crash at 12th Avenue North and I-29. Officers arriving on the scene found the SUV had left the road and rolled in the ditch.
A witness to the crash told police the driver was running north, pointed out his location and officers took 31-year-old Bobby James of Fargo into custody.
Two female passengers in the SUV who were injured and James were taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The SUV struck a concrete median on 12th Avenue North while traveling north off the I-29 exit ramp. The vehicle then struck the curb on the westbound lanes of the avenue, went airborne, went down a steep embankment into the ditch, and rolled.
James was arrested for felony fleeing, two counts of felony reckless endangerment, refusal to haul, driving under suspension, and outstanding warrants.
