Police Cruiser Hits Home During High Speed Pursuit

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- A pursuit ended with a police cruiser hitting an Oak Park home and a suspect being taken into custody Saturday morning.

Sacramento Police initiated a pursuit after a reckless driver near Broadway and 42nd Street refused to pull over during a traffic stop, and instead accelerated to speeds reaching 70 miles per hour and racing through several stop signs.

The suspect made a sudden turn in an Oak Park neighborhood, slamming into a gate. A police cruiser tried to follow the vehicle through the turn, but ended up crashing through a fence and hitting a home.

The driver and passenger in the suspect vehicle fled the scene on foot. The passenger was arrested but the driver is still at large.
