RIALTO: High-speed chase ends in gas station
A Text Size 
A suspected intoxicated driver led authorities on a wild high-speed chase down Highway 210, ending at a gas station in Rialto on Friday night, Nov. 9.
Television news cameras in a helicopter captured the chase during prime time, following a silver Acura weaving through traffic, nearly sideswiping cars as the driver flew down the 210 freeway at around 90 mph with a fleet of police sirens flashing behind.
The chase started shortly before 8 p.m. in Glendora when Glendora police tried to stop a man driving erratically, California Highway Patrol Sgt. Joseph Corney said.
Glendora police handed the chase over to San Bernardino CHP officers as the driver sped east on the 210 in Rialto.
After striking the concrete center divider, the Acura ran the full width of the freeway with one headlight and a turn signal on, weaving behind traffic at high speeds.
CHP officers distanced themselves from the pursuit after the Acura made several dangerous maneuvers and had close calls with other drivers. A CHP helicopter with a spotlight kept pace overhead.
Near the end of the 210 freeway in Redlands, the Acura turned around through a break on the freeway, heading the opposite direction back toward Rialto.
The Acura finally exited the freeway on Riverside Avenue in Rialto where the driver played a game of cat and mouse with CHP officers through a shopping center parking lot.
CHP officers cornered the driver in gas station parking lot and used a pit maneuver to stop the Acura. CHP officers punched through the passenger window when the driver refused to exit.
The driver was the only person in the Acura, with a Dallas Cowboys license plate frame. The side panels of the car were dented after sideswiping the center divider several times. He did not have ID and was not immediately identified.
Police arrested the driver on suspicion of felony evading and being under the influence of drugs. No other drivers were injured during the chase.

Evеn in the case of your muffler - wherе a coаt hangеr сould holԁ
it in placе fοr years - yоu should have the problem
fixed as soon as pоssible. Besidеs eхpіring due to nоrmal
use, oil deposits can build on the eleсtrοԁes, prеventing voltage from ϳumping the gap.
Becauѕе this is the least expensiνe route, a lοt of ρeoplе choose it, hopіng
to save a few dollars.
