TEMPE, AZ — Police continue to search for two people they say fled a vehicle that was involved in a pursuit early Sunday morning.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers say they started a pursuit on the vehicle after it would not pull over for a traffic stop.

DPS says the stop was for reckless driving, but it's not clear where that stop was initiated and where the pursuit began.

Video obtained by ABC15 shows what appears to be the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on I-10 eastbound, just east of Loop 202 in west Phoenix.

The pursuit ended in the area of Mill Avenue and 5th Street in Tempe, where the vehicle had been parked.

When DPS and Tempe police located the vehicle, the two people were not in the vehicle and had fled the area. They are still at large.

No injuries were reported in connection to the pursuit.

It isn't clear what route the vehicle took between when it was spotted in west Phoenix and when it was located in Tempe.

The incident remains under investigation.
