CHP Flips Patrol Car During Chase on I-580

Two suspects arrested near Stockton after chase that began in Livermore.

Bay City News — UPDATED 11:53 a.m.: Two suspects were arrested Monday morning after one of the California Highway Patrol cars chasing them flipped during the pursuit.

Officers spotted an Infiniti speeding east on I-580 near Isabel Avenue in Livermore at about 3:20 a.m., CHP spokeswoman Diana McDermott said. When a CHP officer attempted to stop the car, the driver sped off, McDermott said.

A chase ensued, with the driver reaching speeds of 100 mph, she said. Two officers in a separate patrol car assisted in the pursuit. The assisting patrol car hit an embankment during the chase and overturned near Altamont Pass Road, causing minor injuries to both officers, McDermott said.

The first patrol car was able to pull over the Infiniti in the Stockton area at about 3:40 a.m. and the two suspects were taken into custody, McDermott said. CHP is still investigating the incident.

I saw this happen once. It was on a episode of Dukes of Hazard.

Coffee and donuts probably spilled when State Trooper car flipped over. Thoughts?

Thank goodness the officers only received minor injuries. I applaud them.

Telling the CHPs,
"We are not telling you anything until my attorneys and body guards had arrived. They are usually only a couples of minutes late. I will buy them a new car that's much faster..."

Cops eating doughnuts has been obsolete for many decades.
Cops are now focused on gym & working-out. Even older cops nearing retirement may not workout, but don't sit around eating doughnuts.

. . . Huh ?

Infiniti driver is extremely lucky he is not facing TWO MURDER counts right now.
Had those CHP Officer's died in the rollover, the Infiniti driver would be held accountable since he evaded. Jury's convict on those charges too.

Sorry, i know it's cool to support the police and all, but if I were serving on a jury, I would not convict for murder if police die while choosing to chase a suspect at high-speed. I don't think that's what murder actually is. Now, involuntary manslaughter is different and may apply, just take it easy with the murder hyperbole.

How old are these officers? There have been far too many CHP accidents in recent years (some have even killed bicyclists in bike lanes). I suggest they are young and inexperienced drivers.

@PunxNotDead
I'm going by experience within the justice system. D.A.'s charge "Murder" & Juries convict on "Murder."

They are beautiful and you described them so well! I hope that someone steps forward quickly! (IRead More have my quota of cats already.)

It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.

Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!

Thank you! That is what we want to know too. We have had more power outages this week than in theRead More 20+ years total that we have lived in this house!
Lynn June 8, 2013 at 07:03 pm
It would be nice to know, indeed. When my husband called to report the outage the recording saidRead More there were no outages in our area, which was clearly incorrect.
AT June 9, 2013 at 06:00 pm
I got the same thing, no outages when I called. I requested to be contacted by PG&E to explainRead More the problem. No call for that but I did get a "survey" call about their automated system. We have also lived here for 20+ years and never had this many outages.

Great photos, Kathie..was the horse being evacuated?

Thank you!! Yes this lady was evacuating this horse. It was the only one a saw be evacuated.

Is it on the hill where the gun range is situated or in the flat land around Dagnino Road?

The gun range is in North Livermore in the low hills north of town.
Correen Carrera June 8, 2013 at 11:30 am
Gun range is over near Raymond Rd on the other side of 580.

My grandson is in 4 H, and he keeps his three pigs up the hill from the Livermore gun range. TodayRead More he came close to losing the pigs. CALFIRE came in the nick of time and saved the pigs.
