Anaheim police kill driver in high-speed pursuit, crash in Orange County
Anaheim police fatally shot a man Wednesday night after a high-speed pursuit that ended when he crashed his truck on a bridge over the Santa Ana River, authorities said. The chase began shortly after 7:45 p.m. when officers responded to a shooting at a motel in the 300 block of North Brookhurst Street, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter. The victim of the motel shooting, a man, was taken to a hospital in stable condition. The suspected shooter drove away and police pursued him, Sutter said. He led officers on a wild chase — blowing through intersections, striking other vehicles, weaving through traffic and losing a tire, according to video captured by a KTLA News helicopter. The man raced along the 91 Freeway in a white pickup truck before zooming onto surface streets, where police officers made several unsuccessful attempts to halt the truck, the station reported. After an almost hourlong chase, the pursuit ended near West Memory Lane and North Bristol Street, Sutter said, about eight miles from the shooting. Police positioned on a bridge over the Santa Ana River executed a PIT maneuver, strategically hitting the side of the suspect's truck and sending it into a guard rail. It bounced back into the road, striking a bridge divider, and came to rest, according to KTLA.

Wild O.C. police pursuit ends in dramatic crash, fatal shooting of driver
A man was fatally shot by Anaheim police Wednesday night following a dramatic, high-speed pursuit that ended when he crashed his truck on a bridge over the Santa Ana River, authorities said. The incident began shortly after 7:45 p.m. in the Orange County city when officers responded to a shooting at a motel in the 300 block of North Brookhurst Street, according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter. The victim of the motel shooting, an adult man, was transported to a hospital in stable condition. The suspected shooter fled and, within minutes, police initiated a pursuit, Sutter said. He led officers on a wild chase — blowing through intersections, striking other vehicles, weaving through traffic and even losing a tire, according to helicopter footage captured by KTLA News. The man was seen racing along the 91 Freeway in a white pickup truck before zooming onto surface streets, where police officers made several unsuccessful attempts to halt the truck, the station reported. After an almost hourlong chase, the pursuit ended near West Memory Lane and North Bristol Street, Sutter said, which is around eight miles from the scene of the shooting. Police, pre-positioned on a bridge over the Santa Ana River, executed a PIT maneuver, strategically hitting the side of the suspect's truck, causing it to careen into a guard rail. It then bounced back into the road where it crashed into a bridge divider and came to rest, according to KTLA.
