High Speed Pursuit Leads to Traffic Collision Causing Major Injury to Suspect

APPLE VALLEY – A male suspect is yet to be identified following a high-speed pursuit and collision on Friday. At around 1:17 a.m. a sergeant from the Apple Valley Station attempted to stop a 2-door, silver, 2004 Honda sedan in the area of Bear Valley and Mohawk Roads due to vehicle lighting issue. The Honda sped away from the sergeant heading south on Mohawk Road.

He sped down residential streets at some points reaching over 100 miles per hour. The driver eventually lost control at Mohawk Road and Wren Street causing the vehicle to leave the road, slam through a railroad fence and overturned twice before coming to a rest. The driver who suffered major injuries was trapped in the vehicle and was extricated from the Honda. He was airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, but his identity remains unknown since he did not have an identification card in his possession.
