A CHP officer attempted to pull over a 63-year-old woman driving a Toyota Prius for unsafe speeds. The driver refused to stop, leading to a chase that spanned approximately 6 miles over Echo Summit. Ultimately, the Prius crashed into an SUV in a chain-up area, resulting in minor injuries for the five SUV occupants. Fortunately, the driver of the Prius was unharmed and subsequently arrested for multiple charges, including DUI.
The dangerous driving incident unfolded amidst heavy snowfall on Highway 50, which heightened the risk of accidents. Accidents were reported along the highway during this time, making the pursuit and subsequent crash even more concerning. The CHP noted that chain controls were in effect, and both Highway 50 and Interstate 80 faced closures due to hazardous conditions, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement and commuters in adverse weather.
