Border Patrol agents seized more than two pounds of fentanyl after a police pursuit ended in a crash earlier this week near Coachella.

The incident started at 12:20 p.m. when El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents encountered a suspicious white sedan traveling westbound on Interstate 10, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The agency said agents attempted to conduct a vehicle stop on the westbound offramp to Dillon Road near Coachella.

Agents lost sight of the vehicle but it was later found abandoned after it crashed into a railing near 48th Avenue and Dillon Road.
