Driver Leads Police On High-Speed Chase
A driver who led police on an erratic high-speed chase throughout the county has been taken into custody, 10News reported.
According to 10News, the man's neighbors complained he was playing his music too loud. The neighbors reportedly called police to complain and when the driver was confronted by police, he took off in his 2000 Chevy Silverado, 10News reported.
Officers followed the driver to La Jolla Scenic Drive, where they lost sight of him. The San Diego Police helicopter spotted him driving eastbound on La Jolla Parkway, where the chase ensued.
The driver drove southbound on state Route 163, passed through Balboa Park, got onto northbound Interstate 5 and then exited into Clairemont, where he drove around on surface streets.
After a couple of close calls, the driver got back onto Interstate 5 and headed south. He crossed the Coronado Bay Bridge, made a U-turn, nearly hit a pedestrian and headed back over the bridge onto southbound Interstate 5. From there, he exited onto eastbound state Route 54 where he crashed into a van.
Authorities surrounded the Silverado and then released a K-9 unit on the driver, who surrendered.
