Two carjacking suspects were arrested in Washington state Wednesday after stealing two vehicles and getting one stuck in a flooded river while trying to escape police during a chase, authorities said.
The pursuit began after officers tried to stop the suspects who carjacked a driver in Issaquah, located about 17 miles southeast of Seattle, Issaquah police said.

One Issaquah officer and both suspects were treated for minor injuries. No carjacking victims reported any injuries.
"It’s lucky it wasn’t summer – there would be hundreds of people milling around," resident Mike Bray, who lives near the scene of the crash, told Q13 FOX. "This is a big tubing run, so there is literally hundreds of people in the summer, so this could be really dangerous."
Multiple agencies responded to the incident, including police from Bellevue and Newcastle, the King County Sheriff's Office and Washington State Patrol.
