The Berkeley Police Department received an alert from an automated license plate reader about a stolen vehicle, leading to a high-speed pursuit that ended with multiple injuries.
The pursuit began when officers located the stolen red Audi, which then drove off, colliding with police vehicles and nearly hitting pedestrians before crashing into stationary cars in Oakland.
After the crash, two occupants were taken into custody, with the driver arrested on charges of possessing a stolen vehicle and attempted assault, while a police officer suffered a leg injury.
Chases conducted in the East Bay are subject to varying standards; local police have specific protocols that differ from those of the California Highway Patrol regarding pursuit policies.
