Update as of 10:30 p.m. Saturday:
Southbound I-25 has reopened after Colorado State Patrol (CSP) responded to a Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately (REDDI) call.
The driver was found in a red pickup truck just north of Second Street in Colorado Springs on I-25 (CO-105), and CSP Troopers began to pursue him. CSP says the driver refused to stop.
During the chase, the driver rammed into two trooper vehicles, damaging them.
To stop the chase and protect other drivers, troopers used a Tactical Vehicle Intervention to bring 60-year-old Dean Moore of Colorado Springs to a stop.
Moore was taken into custody and taken to the hospital after a short standoff. No troopers were injured.
The freeway was reopened just before 10 p.m. Saturday.
