FONTANA – Seven suspects were arrested after an over 75-mile pursuit Wednesday afternoon. Just before 3:00 p.m. the California Highway Patrol dispatch was alerted to a high-speed pursuit on the I-15 North from the Fontana area. The white 2014 Toyota Camry were being pursued due to a drive-by shooting that occurred just prior at around 2:50 p.m. in the 1200 block of Tamarind Avenue near Baseline Road.

The driver failed to yield to Fontana police, entering the 210 East to the I-15 North and eventually at speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour exiting on CA-395. The vehicle headed northbound through Hesperia, Victorville, Adelanto, and continued onto the eastbound SR-58. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s helicopter (40-King), Hesperia, Victorville units, as well as the CHP responded to assist in the pursuit that continued onto the eastbound SR-58.

“During the pursuit, a detective unit was involved in a collision with a civilian vehicle,” Fontana Police officials said in a news release. “The civilian was taken to a local hospital for observation with a complaint of pain. The officer was not injured.”
