A high speed chase on Highway 4 through Franklin Canyon threaded its way south on 242 to southbound 680 with speeds in excess of 100 mph early Saturday morning, the driver eventually crashing and taking off on foot on the N. Main Street off ramp.
A CHP helicopter provided overwatch as a ground search for the suspect was organized, with Walnut Creek police and a K9 team joining the effort.
The unidentified driver was eventually located and arrested in the wee hours, local photographer Sean McDonough on hand to record the moment. We’re not precisely sure why the driver opted to try and flee police.
That helo was up a long time.
Disappointed that he let himself get caught.
Lazy.
Guess he just didn’t want it enough.
More wind sprints?
I just focus on results. I’m not here to tell anyone else HOW to live man…
Was there not an alert for this?
It happened so fast there really wasn’t enough time for 1 like within 10 minutes I see that car drive flying past me and all the cop cars and then just up the road the whole road is blocked off because they crashed the car
