SAN BERNARDINO CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A police pursuit ended in a crash on Interstate 215 Freeway early Sunday after a suspect’s vehicle slammed into an ambulance, said the California Highway Patrol.
The incident began around 1:17am when San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to pull over a black two seater Mercedes-Benz vehicle near West Kendall Drive and North Western Avenue in North San Bernardino, according to department spokesperson Jenny Smith.
Instead of yielding, the driver fled at high speeds and ran multiple stop signs before entering the northbound 215 Freeway at University Parkway, where the vehicle collided with an ambulance. Once on the freeway the driver lost control and hit the guardrail after the Palm Ave/Kendall Dr exit.
Following the crash, the 20-year-old driver and two passengers exited the car and were immediately taken into custody. The driver was arrested for evading a peace officer.
Officials have not yet confirmed whether the ambulance was actively transporting a patient when the collision occurred.
No injuries were reported.
