A man and woman who were spotted drinking at a hydroelectric station in Estacada fired a gun toward a nearby road, led county deputies on a 16-minute chase in a Car2Go rental Mercedes sedan and then crashed, authorities said Thursday.

Francisco Ortiz Jr., 22, and Chelsea Carillo Grey, 19, were injured in the May 23 rollover crash along Oregon 224 and were taken to a hospital, but expected to recover, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. Neither was arrested and the county district attorney's office is planning to present the case to a grand jury to consider charges, the sheriff's office said.

As of noon Thursday, no charges related to the case had been filed, records show.

A PGE employee called 911 around 10:50 p.m. May 23 and reported seeing two people drinking beer outside the Portland General Electric station along Southeast Faraday Road, looking inside a building and shooting toward Oregon 224, the sheriff's office said. They left in the Mercedes as deputies arrived, authorities said.

At one point during the chase, someone inside the Mercedes threw what was later determined to be pieces of a pistol out the window, the sheriff's office said. A police dog later found it in grass along 224.

The chase continued until the Mercedes veered off the road and flipped onto its top. No one else was injured.
