The SUV fled from Detroit officers, and state troopers unsuccessfully tried to stop the vehicle twice, according to authorities.
Officials said they backed off and let one trooper continue to follow the SUV.
The driver and passenger abandoned the SUV while going south on Heyden Street from the eastbound I-96 Service Drive, police said. Troopers arrested both without incident, they said.
