Pursuit Ends on Ravine's Edge

A police pursuit that began on a San Diego-area interstate ended on the edge of a ravine with the suspect's vehicle and a police patrol car just a few feet from falling into a canyon.

California Highway Patrol officers took one man in custody following the pursuit through central San Diego Tuesday.

The man failed to pull over for a CHP officer on Interstate 8 near Interstate 805 just before 10 a.m.

The officer pursued the driver off the highway and onto surface streets with help from San Diego Police.

The pursuit ended off the paved road and at the edge of a canyon in a cul-de-sac on Ash Street. The driver was taken into custody.

Video shot by an NBC 7 news crew shows how close the suspect's vehicle and the officer's patrol car came to the edge of the canyon.

There were no injuries, officials said.
