A police pursuit in the evening hours of Nov. 13 led offices from Ocean Beach to downtown San Diego. In the process, many people’s lives were put into danger by the recklessness of the driver they were chasing.
Police say that an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop for a driver operating without headlights. The driver refused to pull over and instead took off, running red lights and driving at high rates of speed. Near Liberty Station, the driver clipped another vehicle but continued going. When he got onto Interstate 8 and then I-5, he neared speeds of 100 mph.
The chase finally came to an end when the suspect struck the second vehicle near the ramp to SR-94.
