EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) -- A pursuit involving Texas state troopers ended in a rollover crash on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 12 in West El Paso, four arrests and one person being airlifted for what are now being called non-life-threatening injuries, the Texas Department of Public Safety said late Sunday night. 1 person airlifted after rollover crash along Mesa DPS said all the suspects had "significant" criminal histories. Shotgun ammunition, drug paraphenalia and open alcohol containers were also found in the vehicle that rolled, DPS said. At about 3:20 p.m., a DPS trooper, along with members of the DPS Criminal Investigations Division, attempted to stop an SUV near the intersection of Paisano Drive and Doniphan Drive. The driver, later identified as 38-year-old Isela Moreno, of Las Cruces, failed to stop and that resulted in a pursuit along Doniphan and then northbound on Sunland Park Drive, DPS said. The SUV lost control and rolled over on Mesa Street near the intersection with Remcon Circle. Several passengers tried to flee the scene but were later apprehended, DPS said. One passenger was airlifted to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, DPS said. Moreno, the driver, was charged with evading arrest/detention with a motor vehicle and evading arrest on foot. Passenger Edward Pinedo, 35, also from Las Cruces, was identified as a wanted fugitive by the El Paso Police Department for felony theft, DPS said.
