Oh, the big rig coming up on another night big rig down there in the slow lane. Coming right up behind him and then swerving into the middle lane to get around him. Like we've said in these situations uh I've never driven one of these trucks, but from what I've [snorts] seen, from what I've heard, they all have uh CB radios.

As we're on the 210 Eastbound passing Mountain, this driver doing a surprising job as we're hearing from CHP uh saying both front tires are flat. CHP's telling us both front tires are flat.

A little bit more swerving from this driver, swerving over to the right shoulder. Still on the gas, it appears. Not giving any intention that this driver is going to stop.

There goes the whole tire. The tire is gone. And now we're on the rims.

There he is. The driver's out. He's climbing the fence. Stay on this side if we if if we can talk. Don't get any further south. We see this driver struggling to climb up the hill. That's a good sign because it means that uh CHP doesn't have to deal with rescuing the suspect. Let's see if we can go a little bit north because of the sound wall there. Continuing southbound. He's continuing southbound on one of the surface streets here. And that CHP air unit still has eyes on that suspect. He's continuing on foot. Possibly running out of breath, jumping over a fence there onto a private property, into a home, maybe. Looks like a condo complex. Hopefully CHP gets eyes on this guy shortly. I see one CHP officer on foot a little further down the road. And we see this guy now. This is the suspect. Stay on this side. Perfect. Perfect. The air unit still has eyes on this suspect. It looks like he's out of breath, just kind of walking through the neighborhood. And hopefully these CHP officers can get to this guy uh before he can cause any more trouble. Pursuit now and another CHP officer closing in. This CHP officer looks like he has a lot more steam left in him, but that suspect still does, too. He's going to continue on one of the surface streets here at this town home complex. A lot of trees in this area. We're uh going to move Air 7 HD around to get you the best angle.
