A driver is wanted after leading a Virginia State Police trooper on a chase on Route 250 in Albemarle County last night.

A Virginia State Police trooper attempted to make a traffic stop at 11 p.m. Tuesday of a Ford Crown Victoria on U.S. Route 250 near Interstate 64 at exit 124.

The driver then ran from the scene on foot.

A search was conducted with the assistance of Albemarle County Police, but the driver was not located.
