Authorities identified the suspect as 20-year-old DeJuan Robinson, who is wanted for multiple homicides in Delaware.
Two members of the Wilmington Police Department and one Pennsylvania State Police trooper were hurt in a crash that occurred on the highway near Philadelphia International Airport.
A chase began in Delaware but later crossed into Pennsylvania, bringing state police into the pursuit until cruisers from both agencies reportedly collided in the northbound lanes. Philadelphia police tweeted that I-95 North was closed at Exit 13 as a result.
