At least two people were injured Tuesday when a man fleeing from deputies crashed the car he was driving into several other vehicles on a thoroughfare near Spring Valley.
Law enforcement officers with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration attempted to pull over the driver, later identified as 52-year-old Marvin Ward, for unknown reasons Tuesday morning.
The pileup that ended the brief road chase occurred shortly before 9 a.m. on Sweetwater Road, between Ildica and Tyler streets, according to the SDSO.
After deputies arrested the suspect for evading police, paramedics took him to a hospital for evaluation of complaints of pain along with another person involved in the crash, Lt. Ashley Lewis said.
