Three young men led police on a wild high-speed chase in San Bernardino on Sunday before ditching their car and attempting to flee on foot. The brazen escapade began at 2:13 a.m., when deputies spotted the 2010 Infiniti G37 speeding down a residential street, its driver pushing the vehicle to over 100 miles per hour.
As police closed in, the driver, 21-year-old Yucaipa resident Christian Ivan Rios, executed a series of sharp turns and narrowly avoided collisions before pulling into a driveway. However, instead of surrendering, he abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot alongside his two passengers, Adrian Adono and Jerry Barrientos.
The three men were eventually caught without incident by deputies, who arrested them for public intoxication and resisting a peace officer. Rios faces charges including felony evading, exhibition of speed, reckless driving, and driving under the influence. The Infiniti has been impounded for 30 days due to California law requiring it be taken off the road after a reckless driving charge.
Police praised their quick thinking in bringing the chase to an end without putting themselves or others at risk.
