The series of events began when Yonkers Police responded to a report of a burglary at Cross County Shopping Center.
Police say they called off the pursuit when the driver got onto I-87 going in the wrong direction towards the Bronx. Yonkers Police notified the NYPD who canvassed the southbound side of the Major Deegan Expressway.
Authorities say the driver hit a Honda head on at around 8:30 p.m. The 30-year-old driver and 32-year-old passenger in the Honda are expected to survive. The two were taken to a local hospital. The suspect fled from the crash and remains on the run, officials said.
