Pursuit suspect leaps off Sorrento Valley freeway bridge, is injured and arrested [Breaking]
A police pursuit that began Tuesday afternoon in Hillcrest ended about a half-hour later in Sorrento Valley, where the fleeing motorist pulled over on a freeway bridge and jumped roughly three stories down, ending up injured and under arrest, authorities said.
The driver, whose name was not immediately available, refused to yield when a San Diego police officer tried to pull him over for a seat belt violation about 2:45 p.m. at Fifth Avenue and Washington Street, San Diego police Officer Scott Lockwood said. The man drove away, steering the Mercedes-Benz sedan onto state Route 163 and fleeing north, eventually merging onto Interstate 805 and then Interstate 5 while passing through northern San Diego. Near the Del Mar Fairgrounds, he exited I-5, then entered it again, this time heading south.
Reaching a ramp at the merger of south I-5 and I-805, the man finally pulled to a stop, got out of the car and leaped over a concrete barrier on the western side of the elevated roadway, according to the California Highway Patrol, which by then had taken over the pursuit. The man landed in a patch of shrubbery, where officers took him into custody, Highway Patrol spokesperson Officer Sal Castro said. Paramedics took him to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries suffered in the roughly 30-foot fall.
