A driver fleeing from police rammed a minivan into several cars before crashing at the U.S.-Mexico border south of San Diego Thursday.
The pursuit was one of two that began at 12:30 a.m. in the Pacific Beach area north of downtown.
One driver behind the wheel of a stolen Jeep Wrangler was arrested in National City at the end of 100-mile-per-hour pursuit along southbound Interstate 805, San Diego police said.
The second driver in a minivan led police officers from Pacific Beach to the border crossing at San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Police say the driver then ran from the car and ran into Mexico and has not been arrested.
Officers noticed a Jeep Wrangler following a minivan on Mesa Boulevard and ran the plates. There have been hundreds of Jeeps stolen in San Diego since the beginning of the year so officers have been on alert to look for them, police told NBC 7.
The drivers of both the Wrangler and the minivan drove off, beginning a pursuit that traveled along State Route 52 and Interstate 805.
