California Highway Patrol, known as the CHiP’s, ended one of the longest car chases in the region when a vehicle was followed by patrol cars through several county and state roads.
The pursuit took place in several dangerous situations, such as the driver driving on sidewalks, bike paths against the traffic, finally reaching the end without a single injury, fortunately.
The Toyota Avalon advanced at high speed through several roads in Westminster, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach counties, however, descriptions of the Japanese sedan matched previous reports.
In this case, on the same day, dangerous driving on the 710 Freeway, Anaheim Street, Long Beach, California. Rather than simply pulling over and potentially being dismissed with a warning or a traffic ticket, the driver decided to see if he could outrun the cops.
During the pursuit, some vehicles even touched the suspect’s Avalon and the car suffered damage to the front and rear bumpers, apart from a side impact from a failed collision attempt on the driver’s side.
After moving at high speed through southern California, he decided to head towards Nevada, using the desert route via Costa Mesa, but it was precisely in this city that the police finally managed to stop the vehicle with a maneuver to disable it.
The vehicle turned 180 degrees and stopped, with the vehicle that pushed it moving ahead and leaving the approach to the next car, accompanied by another, with one of the agents having a dog.
After some time, at gunpoint, the driver got out of the Avalon and, with his back turned, approached one of the police officers and knelt down. One of the agents handcuffed him and the whole chase story ended there, finally.
It is not known why the driver decided to test the agents’ patience, but it is now known that he will respond criminally for everything he did.
