Three men in a stolen vehicle attempting to evade motorcycle officers crashed into two other vehicles on the Memorial Drive bridge over Interstate 244, according to Tulsa police.

Officers say a motorcycle cop clocked the vehicle going 85 miles per hour on eastbound 244 and followed it.

The driver attempted to exit at 244 and Memorial when he was confronted by another motorcycle cop. Police said the driver tried to elude the two officers, but hit two other cars, a black Silverado and a white minivan.

EMSA took a mother and two children from the minivan to a hospital. Officers said their injuries didn't appear too serious.

The Silverado contained a family on their way back to Atlanta. Officers said no one was injured in that vehicle and cleared them to leave the scene.

Police said the driver of the stolen car tried to run away but a K9 officer caught up to him quickly and one passenger was arrested on warrants. Officers said another passenger did manage to get away.

No names have been released at this time.
