San Diego Car Accident Results from Wrong-Way Driver
Jun 11th, 2009 by RichmondJ
A June 4 police chase that ensued in San Diego began only to deter a wild driver, but ended in a serious car accident that injured a San Diego police officer and brought arrest to a 47-year-old woman. The woman driver was traveling south on the opposite side of Interstate 805 when the police chase began at around 5:49 a.m.
The woman continued driving negligently on various streets, involving a u-turn on Palm Avenue and furious speeds near 100 mph as well as running multiple red lights. As the driver continued down 43rd street, she was confronted by a California Highway Patrol police car at an upcoming intersection. However, the woman persisted in speeding towards the vehicle, and despite her attempts to swerve around the police car, she collided with the front bumper of the vehicle, causing injuries to the driving officer during the car accident. The high-speed car chase continued even after this car accident, until she was finally captured at 6:16 am.
The police officer involved in the car accident was treated for injuries, and the 47-year-old driver was released to a mental health institution for further evaluation of possible mental injuries. However, she is expected to be tried on multiple charges following her evaluation.
