An overnight police chase that started in La Porte and ended in Elkhart sent two people to the hospital Tuesday morning.

Elkhart Police say around 1:25 a.m., an officer tried to stop the vehicle for a traffic violation in the area of Cassopolis Street and Bristol Street. Police say the driver didn't stop and led officers on a short chase.

Police say the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a utility pole and house in the area of Plum and Beardsley.
