A man suffered life-threatening injuries Sunday morning after fleeing a traffic stop and getting into a single-vehicle collision, officials said.Â
On Sunday, after 12:30 a.m., deputies attempted to make a traffic stop on Interstate 19 at Valencia Road. The man did not stop, and fled southbound on I-19 exiting the freeway on San Xavier Road, according to a Pima County Sheriff's Department news release.Â
