TOLEDO, Ohio — Two people were injured after crashing their ATVs in central Toledo after fleeing from police on Sunday evening.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers say they attempted to pull over two ATVs just before 7 p.m. for  driving on the road when the drivers took off.

Troopers say they began tracking the male drivers on Detroit Ave. by helicopter helping to alert Toledo police of their location.

The suspects were seen driving together through multiple neighborhood streets, but ultimately split up.

One of the drivers crashed into the sign of Garden of Prayer Church on Ottawa Dr. near Bluff St.

The other lost control on the other side of the street.
