The Lone Tree Police Department is searching for two suspects who they say carjacked a vehicle after a crash on Interstate 25 Tuesday.
The incident began after a multi-vehicle crash on I-25 south of the RidgeGate Parkway exit in Lone Tree around 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to a press release from the department. Two suspects, a man and a woman, were allegedly driving a stolen Ford F350 truck recklessly, eventually causing the crash.
When a woman stopped in the crash backup, the suspects got into her vehicle with a knife and forced her to drive a short distance from the crash, police said.
The woman suspect hit the victim multiple times while they traveled along I-25 and eventually forced her out of the vehicle, according to the release.
The suspects then drove away in the victim’s car, throwing the victim’s phone out of the window along the highway. The stolen vehicle was later located in Denver near I-25 and I-70, police said.
The victim suffered minor injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital.
Police are still looking for the two suspects. The man was described as Hispanic, around 40 years old, about 5-foot, 8-inches tall with a medium build, shorter salt-and-pepper hair and a short beard. He was wearing a gray jacket, police said.
The woman was described as Hispanic, around 30 years old. She is believed to be 5-foot, 4-inches tall with a medium build and black hair pulled into a ponytail. She was wearing black pants and a gray hoodie.
