"Napa County sheriff's deputies followed the truck as the driver headed south on Highway 29, reaching up to 120 mph and side-swiping another vehicle, Sgt. Nick DeGuilio said Sunday. The pursuit ended after a deputy performed a PIT maneuver, which involves an officer connecting with a suspect vehicle and forcing it to spin out, near Trower Avenue in northern Napa."
"Sonoma resident Jerome Strach, who said he was completing a Lyft drive, was stopped at the intersection when he saw five law enforcement vehicles, including from the sheriff's office and Napa Police Department, approach with lights flashing. Strach said he watched as the southbound white pickup spun a U-turn and tried to drive north. Soon after, he said, a patrol car struck the pickup behind the driver's door, causing the truck to do a 180-degree turn and then stop facing south in the northbound lane."
A Fairfield man suspected of armed robbery was arrested after leading law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit. St. Helena police spotted a stolen white Toyota pickup near Yountville that had been forcibly taken while the suspect fled Fairfield officers earlier that morning. Napa County deputies followed the truck south on Highway 29, with speeds reaching 120 mph and the vehicle side-swiping another car. A deputy performed a PIT maneuver near Trower Avenue, causing the pickup to spin and U-turn into oncoming lanes. The pickup then struck a patrol car; no injuries were reported. Multiple patrol cars pinned the vehicle and deputies took the suspect into custody.
