Multi-county chase ends in crash in Northern California city of Davis
California Highway Patrol's North Sacramento division said the chase began in the westbound lanes of Interstate 80 in the Auburn area of Placer County.
It continued through Sacramento County and the city of Sacramento until the suspect crashed on I-80 in the Yolo County city of Davis. The suspect's car caught fire as a result of the crash, CHP said.
Auburn-area CHP officers were initially involved before handing off to the North Sacramento division.
A CBS Sacramento crew at the scene saw the vehicle was overturned on its side in brush off the side of the freeway.
The driver and two passengers suffered minor injuries and were all taken into custody, CHP said.
Law enforcement officials noted that the suspect hit at least one civilian vehicle during the pursuit. That driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was not injured.
It's not yet clear why the chase occurred.

Search Begins for 7 Missing After Disaster at Fireworks Warehouse in California
Rescue crews on Thursday began searching for seven people who were still missing two days after a fireworks warehouse in Northern California was decimated in a fire that turned into an explosion. Families of the missing have been on edge ever since the warehouse combusted on Tuesday evening in a largely rural area about 30 miles northwest of Sacramento. The fireworks company, Devastating Pyrotechnics, indicated in a statement that multiple people had died, but local officials have not issued a determination. Search crews, including a team with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have only just begun to enter the site in Esparto, Calif., because it was deemed hazardous through Wednesday night, with fires burning and explosions still occurring, officials said. The cause is still under investigation. The warehouse contained large pyrotechnics used in aerial displays in Northern California, including for shows that were scheduled for the Fourth of July on Friday. Several cities canceled their fireworks displays after the incident. As of Thursday afternoon, some spot fires had been extinguished and the scene had 'become a little bit safer' for crews to start conducting their work, said Chief Curtis Lawrence of the Esparto Fire Protection District. But officials said it was still too soon to determine what happened to the seven missing people. Officials have not specified whether all seven worked at the facility. Officials 'are doing everything they can to bring you the answers and the closure that you're looking for,' Matthew Davis, the undersheriff of Yolo County, said as he directed his remarks to the loved ones of the victims at a news conference on Thursday. 'We understand this is an incredibly difficult time.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Police shoot man dead after gunfire exchanged in siege
An armed man has been shot dead by police after a seven-hour siege prompted by earlier gunfire. Police were called to Menzies Drive in Daisy Hill, near the Victorian town of Maryborough, about 3pm on Thursday after reports of a gun being fired in an incident where no one was injured. They tried to speak with the man before an hours-long siege, with the Critical Incident Response Team, Special Operations Group and Dog Squad called in to assist. It is alleged the man fired shots towards police, who returned fire just before 10pm. The man, who has not been formally identified, was hit and died at the scene. Homicide Squad detectives will investigate the fatal shooting with oversight from the Professional Standards Command, as is the standard procedure. The state coroner has visited the scene. There has been a spate of police shootings in Victoria in recent months. Madeline Margaret Henry, 33, was shot dead on May 24 in South Melbourne after allegedly driving towards a male senior constable during the arrest of a machete-wielding man. The senior constable shot at the vehicle four times, hitting and killing the female driver. Somali man Abdifatah Ahmed was also shot dead at Footscray in the city's inner west on April 17 after allegedly rushing at police with a knife. Commander Tim Tully said two officers told the man to drop the weapon and shot him when he charged at police.
