San Diego Police attempted to stop the car about 4:45 p.m. in the 6900 block of westbound Imperial Avenue, Officer John Buttle said. But the driver refused to pull over and led police on a two-block pursuit until the driver lost control and crashed into a tree on the south curb of Imperial Avenue.

The driver, a 13-year-old according to news reorts, sustained minor injuries, Buttle said. A teenage passenger in the back seat sustained serious injuries that were not expected to be life-threatening. A third teen in the car was uninjured.

Paramedics took both injured juveniles to a hospital, Buttle said. The SDPD traffic division was investigating the crash.
