San Diego Police arrested one person Monday after a high-speed pursuit ended with a Lexus wedged between a condo and a stone wall.
The chase began as California Highway Patrol officers were running a traffic break on the northbound I-15 Freeway near Aero Drive.
The driver of the Lexus didn't stop when the CHP patrol car drove a serpentine to slow down highway traffic.
Despite CHP's order to stop, the driver continued and a San Diego Police patrol car nearby helped pursue the vehicle.
The suspect drove south on Daley Center Dr. and crashed through a gate to a fire road. From there he drove north on W. Canyon Road.
The Lexus faced a dead end at the Stonecrest Condo complex so the suspect drove into the Saratoga condominium complex nearby.
This was where the suspect tried to drive into a green area and through a narrow walkway.
