No one was injured when a North Las Vegas police SUV collided with a stolen vehicle during an early Monday morning chase.

Officers began pursuing the stolen vehicle about 1:30 a.m. before it crashed into a police SUV on Craig Road near Commerce Street, police spokesman Eric Leavitt said.

The driver continued to flee, but police stopped the vehicle near Craig and Lamb Boulevard after the crash and the driver was taken into custody.

Detectives were still working at midmorning to determine whether the crash was accidental or if the driver intentionally rammed the police vehicle. The damaged police SUV ended up on a median on Craig Road near a downed light pole.

Craig was closed between Revere Street and Commerce while police investigated.
