A car pursued by Fullerton Police slammed into a tow truck and ended up partially stuck under the truck’s flatbed at a gas station early Sunday morning, Sept. 28, officials said.
Around 2 a.m., officers responded to a “possible domestic violence incident” on the 2500 block of West Orangethorpe Avenue, police spokeswoman Kristy Wells said.
Officers located the suspect — a man — entering his vehicle in a parking lot. When officers attempted to detain him, the suspect fled in his vehicle, nearly striking one of the officers’ vehicles. Officers initiated a traffic stop; however, the suspect failed to yield, and a brief pursuit ensued, Wells said.
The suspect ultimately collided with a light pole in the area of Brookhurst Road and Orangethorpe Avenue and then a parked tow truck at a Chevron station across the street from a McDonald’s
He then exited his vehicle and “aggressively approached” officers, who then Tased him, Wells said.
The suspect was identified as a 37-year-old resident of Santa Ana. He was arrested on suspicion of counts including assault with a deadly weapon, felony evading, hit-and-run, driving under the influence and violation of a protective order.
Video from freelance news agency OC Hawk of the crash aftermath shows the handcuffed suspect being examined by paramedics and being transported for medical treatment with unspecified injuries.
The video shows twisted street signs attached to the pole hanging off the suspect’s car, a red Prius, which was partially embedded underneath the flatbed.
