Wild Chase Through East Contra Costa County Ends With 2 Arrests

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — Two people were arrested by deputies in Contra Costa County this weekend after a prolonged and dangerous vehicle chase, the Sheriff's Office said Sunday.

On Saturday just after 6 p.m., deputies attempted a high-risk traffic stop in Antioch after a person with a parole violation and multiple warrants was seen getting into the passenger side of a Honda Civic, the Sheriff's Office said.

According to deputies, the driver of the Honda quickly reversed the vehicle, narrowly missing a deputy, and drove out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

The driver led deputies on a pursuit through Antioch then onto state Route 4 at Loveridge Road, where the Honda went the wrong way, heading eastbound in the westbound lanes. The Sheriff's Office called off the pursuit.

The Honda later corrected direction and drove westbound on Route 4. The suspect vehicle exited Bailey Road in Bay Point and the California Highway Patrol successfully deployed spikes at Willow Pass and Alves roads.

The Honda continued to Route 4 at San Marco Boulevard, where it entered eastbound Route 4 going westbound on the shoulder. The pursuit was once again terminated, the Sheriff's Office said.

The Honda then continued westbound on the shoulder where it collided with a parked Sheriff's Office vehicle.

The suspect in the passenger seat fled on foot but was apprehended.

The Honda sped away in the wrong direction and collided with a vehicle on Route 4. The driver was arrested and taken to the hospital with injuries caused by the collision, according to the Sheriff's Office.
