An attempted traffic stop in Fairfield early Thursday escalated into a pursuit into Suisun City and ended with a crash and two arrests.
Events unfolded around 4 a.m. when a Fairfield officer saw a vehicle fail to make a complete stop at a stop sign then speed up in an effort to put distance between it and his patrol car, officials said.
The officer activated his overhead lights and sirens and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver accelerated, officials said in a social media post, “frequently changing directions and soaring through a red light at an intersection” as the vehicle headed west towards Pennsylvania Avenue. The driver then sped south on Pennsylvania, entered Highway 12, then headed back into residential areas of downtown Fairfield before heading back towards Suisun City.
“The vehicle continued to run stop signs and drive at high rates of speed, making unsafe turns in complete disregard of public safety – until it was involved in a rear-end collision with an unoccupied vehicle in the 1000 block of Main St., Suisun,” the post continued.
