 By Alex Lane - A vehicle pursuit between Sheriff’s officers and a man suspected of vehicle theft ended in a dramatic crash Monday evening. Around 7 pm, a Sheriff’s deputy received a report that a person suspected of possession of stolen property had almost struck another vehicle on Shake Ridge Road . The Sheriff radioed other deputies to be on the lookout for the white vehicle the suspect was driving. A CHP officer in the area soon spotted the vehicle on Pine Grove Drive, but when he tried to stop the vehicle the suspect sped away. The pursuit wound through the curvy back roads of the Pine Grove area and it soon became apparent to the officer in pursuit that the chase was becoming very dangerous due to the speeds of the driver. The car lost control and came to a stop at the roads edge of the intersection of Manzanita Way and Dew Drop Road . When the suspect backed up and tried to drive again, the CHP officer chose to end the chase by ramming the vehicle and forcing it off the road into the trees. The suspect then ran into the woods and evaded officers. The suspect has yet to be found.
