A pursuit in Carlsbad ended when the suspect crashed in the parking lot of a Starbucks on Tamarack Avenue.
Carlsbad police told NBC 7 officers saw the driver hit a curb as he turned near Pine Avenue and Garfield Street and tried to pull him over.
He refused to stop and lead police down a dead-end street but was able to escape. Officers in pursuit were not able to keep up with his maneuvers, according to police, so they ended the chase and called backup top the area.
Officers then saw the suspect vehicle, a white Dodge Challenger, driving westbound on Tamarack and reengaged. Police say that's when the driver attempted a left turn onto Interstate 5 and lost control.
The Challenger jumped the curb on Tamarack, went through some shrubs and crashed into a parked car, likely preventing it from hitting the Starbucks building.
Police were seen giving the driver a sobriety test before placing him in the back of a police car. The driver faces felony evasion and DUI charges.
No injuries were reported.
