Officials say Colorado state troopers chased a man accused of abducting his 2-year-old daughter for more than 25 miles before his vehicle hit their spike strips and rolled over.
Officials say troopers tried to stop Ramiro Tirado’s 2004 Cadillac Escalade near the New Mexico border but it sped off, reaching speeds of 100 mph before troopers laid down the spike strips.
Troopers had been on the lookout for Tirado after New Mexico authorities issued an Amber Alert for his daughter, Denise Tirado, early this morning.
Tirado and his daughter were both thrown from the Escalade when he lost control and hit a median near Trinidad, Colo. The state patrol says Denise suffered moderate injuries and was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colo.
Tirado also suffered moderate injuries and was transported to a Pueblo, Colo., hospital.
