A white GMC pickup truck, driven by a unknown white or hispanic male, went eastbound on Wildwood Canyon Road at a high rate of speed and turned northbound onto 2nd Street.
When the GMC passed by, Ziemer turned around and attempted a traffic enforcement stop for CVC 23103(a)-Reckless Driving and CVC 27315(d)(1)-Driving without a Seatbelt. The driver fled at a high rate of speed northbound on 2nd Street, at times reaching speeds up to 85 mph. The GMC turned eastbound on Avenue E and made a southbound turn into the Avalon Mobile Home park. The driver crashed the GMC into the front of a mobile home.
The driver climbed out of the passenger side and ran through the Avalon Mobile Home park, jumping over multiple fences. Deputies lost sight of the driver as he entered the Grandview East Mobile Home Park. Deputies returned to the crash site and discovered the vehicle was stolen from Cherry Valley earlier in the day. Deputy Ziemer obtained video surveillance of the driver as he ran through the Grandview East Mobile Home park. View video here: https://youtu.be/JSVZE4wF_uY
