A man driving a possibly stolen big-rig cab with a passenger who may have been held against his will led authorities on a pursuit from Fontana to Buena Park Wednesday before being surrounded by law enforcement vehicles and surrendering.
The chase began in Fontana around 9:30 a.m. when an officer realized the truck’s license plate did not match the vehicle. The officer attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled, eventually heading south on the 57 Freeway into Orange County.
A Fontana police spokesman told KTLA5 during the pursuit that police received a call from a person claiming to the daughter of a male passenger in the truck, saying the driver was not allowing him to exit the vehicle.
The driver alternately traveled on freeway and surface streets in Orange County. Shortly before 11 a.m., an armored police Bearcat vehicle rammed the truck from the side in an apparent PIT maneuver attempt, but the driver was able to continue the chase. It was unclear what agency the armored vehicle belonged to.
The driver ultimately came to a stop at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Franklin Street in Buena Park, with various law enforcement vehicles, including some undercover vans, boxing the truck in place.
