Authorities arrested an alleged carjacker Wednesday after he led them on a chase through north coastal cities, eventually crashing the victim’s car in Carlsbad.
Kenneth Ash, 30, has been booked into the Vista Detention Facility on multiple charges, including carjacking, evading police, resisting officers and violating his parole.
At about 9 a.m. Wednesday, deputies from the Vista Sheriff’s Station responded to a report of a carjacking in the 600 block of Hacienda Drive after a male suspect demanded that the victim exit a vehicle, according a news release from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
Ash, officials said, drove away before deputies arrived, but they issued a “be on the lookout” alert throughout North County. Carlsbad police spotted the vehicle traveling northbound on Interstate 5 at La Costa Avenue, and began a pursuit.
Deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station assisted by deploying a tire deflation device on Leucadia Boulevard and Garden View Road in Encinitas.
The maneuver successfully deflated one or more of the vehicle’s tires, but authorities said that Ash continued driving, entering the city of Carlsbad.
He soon lost control of the vehicle and collided into two other cars, a bus stop and a tree on El Camino Real and Faraday Avenue.
Carlsbad officers arrested Ash, but first he was sent to Scripps La Jolla Hospital where he was treated and released, then moved to the Vista jail.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Vista Sheriff’s Station (760-940-4551) or the Carlsbad Police Department (442-339-5647).
