3 Robbery Suspects Escape After Crash in Rancho Peñasquitos, 1 in Custody

San Diego police are investigating after four robbery suspects were involved in a rollover crash in Rancho Peñasquitos, police said.

Police tried to stop the suspects' white Mercedes for a traffic violation when the driver took off. 

The Mercedes tried to turn from Janal Way to Penasquitos Drive, hitting the center divider and rolling several times around 8:30 p.m. at the 14500 block of Peñasquitos Drive near the Peñasquitos Lutheran Church, police said. The car came to rest on its roof. 

Three of the suspects got out of the car and fled, and one rear passenger still in the car was taken to the hospital for serious injuries, San Diego Police Department said.

A previous version of this story erroneously said all of the suspects were in custody.
