Pursuit of Suspected Car Burglar Leads to Multiple Crashes in South Bay
CHULA VISTA, CA (June 24, 2019) – Pursuit of a suspected car burglar led to a chase in which multiple crashes occurred, and people were injured. The June 22 incident occurred in South Bay.
The incident unfolded when deputies from the San Diego Sheriff’s Office responded to a call that a suspected burglar was at work on a vehicle in Imperial Beach, in the vicinity of Donax Avenue and 13th Street. The time was a little before 10:00 a.m.
When deputies arrived on scene, the suspect—described as a man—fled, and deputies pursued him. During the chase, which went into San Ysidro, the suspect’s vehicle hit another vehicle on Dairy Mart Road.
The pursuit went through northbound I-5, Chula Vista surface streets, and northbound I-5 again, reports say. According to deputies, the suspect traveled as fast as 100 miles per hour at times.
According to reports, the chase ended when the suspect’s vehicle went out of his control and smashed a bridge of the offramp for H Street. A deputy who had been chasing the suspect collided with another vehicle on the offramp. The deputy, and the person who had been driving the vehicle that was struck by the deputy’s vehicle, were injured. Responders transported them to a hospital in the area.
