NewsNation reported Monday afternoon police had taken a vehicle off a road in Evansville, Indiana, following a high-speed chase.
Police pursued a vehicle believed to be connected to Casey White, an inmate, and Vicky White, a corrections officer who investigators say helped him escape detention before she left the state with him.
At a press conference, police said the pair was located at a motel following a tip from the public, and fled the scene.
Following a rollover crash, Vicky White was hospitalized, while Casey White surrendered.
Vicky White shot herself, police said, and her condition was described as serious.
