Raw: Pursuit & Capture Caught On Tape
SACRAMENTO A high-speed chase that spanned nearly 50 miles was brought to an end by CHP intervention in Sacramento, and the wild ending was caught on tape.
Police were forced to crash into the fleeing GEO Tracker when the driver refused to stop, even after the vehicle's
More..tires were destroyed during the pursuit.
The lengthy chase began when the suspect allegedly struck another car on Highway 12 in Rio Vista on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities. Solano County Sheriff's units began to pursue the woman westbound on Highway 12, and at one point she allegedly turned around and drove the wrong way.
The chase eventually moved to northbound Interstate 5 as speeds topped more than 100 miles per hour at times. The driver managed to avoid several attempts to destroy her tires with spike strips, but couldn't evade strips set up between 43rd Avenue and Sutterville Road in Sacramento.
Even with her tires destroyed, the chase continued, and with the interstate cleared of traffic both in front and behind the pursuit, units ended the chase by performing a PIT-maneuver, using one of the patrol units to strike the suspect's car and spin it out on the road.
The woman surrendered to authorities and was taken into custody.
A driver's license at the scene identified the woman as 49-year-old Annette Hurd, but police have not confirmed her identity yet.
