A man that led police on a high-speed chase through North County at speeds of up to 130 miles per hour has not been found, police said.
The pursuit started shortly after midnight at Via Rancho Parkway and Del Dios Highway when an officer tried to pull over a motorcyclist for speeding, police said.
The driver took off to the 78 and 15 freeways on a chase, at times reaching speeds so fast that the police helicopter lost track of the suspect, police said. Officers estimated he was speeding up to 130 miles per hour at times.
The chase went through some side streets and at least one dirt road last for more than 30 minutes, police said, until the suspect ditched his motorcycle and ran off near Third Place and Upas Lane in Escondido.
Officers found the suspect’s bike in a neighbor’s driveway but are still trying to figure out if the bike is registered to the suspect or if it was stolen.
