An 18-year-old girl from Ventura County was arrested after she led CHP officers on a multi-county chase and crashed into a squad car.
According to preliminary information from CHP, officers were notified of a pursuit coming into the Ventura area from Santa Barbara County just before 9 p.m. Saturday.
Units stationed themselves on the southbound side of the 101 Freeway at Telephone Road to intercept the girl's 2012 Infiniti G37 sedan, but she exited the freeway at Johnson Drive, authorities confirmed.
She then traveled towards Auto Mall Drive before turning down a dead end.
“[The driver] drove into a private lot which was a dead end,” CHP said. “As officers attempted to terminate the pursuit, the suspect vehicle made a U-turn and accelerated, striking ... one of the patrol vehicles.”
Video from the scene shows the CHP unit that was struck with heavy front-end damage.
