Police Chase Through Des Moines Ends in Arrest After Fiery Crash
Let me tell you about a tense and fast-developing situation that unfolded right here in Des Moines. It’s the kind of story that sounds like something out of a movie—but it happened in real time, right on our streets.
Just before 4:45 p.m. on Monday, Des Moines police were alerted to a hit-and-run incident that had just taken place. Officers quickly responded and spotted a vehicle near Easton Boulevard and Hubbell Avenue that matched the description of the suspect's car. Now, instead of pulling over when police tried to initiate a traffic stop, the driver decided to make a run for it.

What followed was a full-on police chase that moved from Des Moines into Pleasant Hill. This wasn’t just a quick pursuit—the fleeing driver was determined to get away, speeding through local streets in a white van that looked totally out of place and clearly out of control. It’s not often you see something like this, and it caught the attention of everyone nearby.
Eventually, the driver lost control and crashed the van into an embankment. That might’ve been the end of it, but the suspect didn’t give up there. After the crash, they jumped out and tried to flee on foot. But police were quick and managed to apprehend the individual before they could get far.
Thankfully, there were no immediate reports of injuries at the crash site. This incident is still developing, so we can expect more details to emerge soon. What we do know is that swift action by the Des Moines Police Department helped bring a dangerous situation to a close before it got worse.
This whole ordeal highlights the daily challenges our officers face and how quickly a regular patrol can turn into a high-stakes chase. And it reminds us all just how unpredictable and fragile public safety can be when someone makes the reckless choice to run from the law.
Stay tuned for updates on this case from KCCI and local authorities.
