MERIDIAN, Idaho - A 54-year-old Meridian man has been arrested and charged after a hit and run Monday morning, police say.

Meridian PD says Stephen Sullivan, 54, was driving a 2005 Nissan pickup when he crossed the center line and hit another car head-on at Eagle and Fairview.

Two occupants of the car were transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Sullivan fled the scene driving southbound on Eagle Road, according to police.

A Meridian police lieutenant in an unmarked police car saw the pickup enter the on-ramp onto I-84 heading east.

Police say Sullivan refused to yield, so the lieutenant pulled up next to the truck and tried to get driver's attention, in case the driver was disoriented from the crash and not aware of his surroundings.

Pickup then swerved into the police car and hit it, causing minor damage, and the lieutenant dropped back from the pickup

Boise PD deployed spike strips at I-84 and Cole, which successfully blew at least two of the tires. He eventually stopped at I-84 and Orchard.

Officers were able to reach the driver's side window and reach in and pull the driver out of the truck. Sullivan has been charged with felony DUI, felony leaving the scene and felony eluding a police officer.
