Driver Arrested After North County Pursuit Ends In Crash

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA – A motorist who refused to yield for a traffic stop Wednesday led deputies on a roughly 20-minute North County pursuit before causing a collision and getting arrested.

The road chase began shortly before 12:30 p.m. in the area of state Route 78 and Rancho Santa Fe Road in San Marcos.

The fleeing motorist led pursuing deputies to the southeast into Escondido, where she got into a crash at Auto Park Way and Andreason Drive and was taken into custody, sheriff's Lt. Eddie Brock said.

At least one person suffered unspecified injuries in the wreck, authorities reported.

The arrestee's name was not immediately available, and it was unclear why deputies tried to pull her over in the first place, the lieutenant said.
