Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were involved in a minor collision during a brief chase of a suspect who fled a traffic stop in Lancaster, authorities said Friday.
One deputy in a cruiser rear-ended another deputy’s cruiser Thursday night in the 44300 block of Elm Avenue, but both deputies were treated at the scene and neither was seriously hurt, according to Deputy Marvin Crowder of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. The time of the crash was not disclosed.
After an hourlong search, the driver was found hiding in the yard of a business and arrested and a woman in the vehicle was taken into custody for a large number of outstanding warrants, according to a news photographer at the scene.
