Chase Suspects Wade Through Water to Avoid Arrest

Two suspects in a police chase reportedly waded through “neck deep” water to evade arrest early Tuesday. At least four police cars chased a silver Honda Pilot as it traveled north on Interstate 805 near University Avenue just before midnight. The chase exited Interstate 8 at 70th Street in La Mesa. Officers followed the Honda to a location near Chollas Parkway and Mina Street where the suspect’s car crashed. Two people left the car and, according to one law enforcement helicopter overhead, waded into “neck deep” water. One suspect was taken into custody.
