A twisting, often wrong-way pursuit over rain slickened streets made its way through a good portion of Lafayette early Thursday before the object of police attention – a white work van – crashed at 16 E. Altarinda Drive in Orinda.

The chase kicked off shortly after 2 a.m. when the van was spotted by a county sheriff’s deputy, its driver reportedly attempting to elude its pursuer by driving the wrong way on city streets before making its way into Orinda and crashing.

The driver, whose name was not available at press time, ran from the disabled vehicle and reportedly began jumping fences before deputies and Lamorinda police closed in.

We’ll have additional information on this story should any become available.
