On Sunday evening, sheriff’s officials received multiple reports of a U-Haul driving erratically. Deputies spotted the U-Haul speeding on Highway 1 near the elephant seal area around 10:20 p.m., and the chase began.

Authorities pursued the U-Haul for about 10 minutes until the driver lost control of the vehicle at a corner and crashed.

Deputies took the driver into custody. The U-Haul had an Arizona license plate.

The sheriff’s office has not released the identity of the suspect.

It’s always a smart idea to commit a crime and head to the coast…pure genius.

Nothing quite like drawing attention to yourself after you’ve stolen a U-Haul. Thankfully, the hot pursuit didn’t cause a more serious accident involving an innocent/uninvolved party!
