Suspect crashes into vehicle during pursuit in Banning

BANNING, Calif. (KESQ) - A suspect crashed into a vehicle while attempting to flee from deputies Wednesday morning in Banning.

The incident started just before 8 a.m. when deputies responded to the area of Haugen Lehmann Way and Tamarack Road in Whitewater regarding a report of a stolen vehicle possibly involved in a robbery, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies located the vehicle near Main Street and Interstate 10 in Cabazon. 

"Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle; however, it failed to yield, and a pursuit was initiated as it traveled west on I-10," an RSO spokesperson said. "The vehicle exited the freeway at 22nd Street, Banning, where it collided with another motorist." 

That motorist was transported to a local area hospital in stable condition. 

The driver of the stolen vehicle, along with three additional subjects, were all taken into custody. 

The Banning police department responded to assist in the traffic collision investigation.  The investigation into the stolen vehicle and possible robbery are ongoing.
