Caught On Tape: Police Bring Pursuit To Wild End

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ? A high-speed chase that spanned nearly 50 miles was
brought to an end by CHP intervention in Sacramento, and the wild ending was
caught on tape.

Police were forced to crash into the fleeing GEO Tracker when the driver
refused to stop, even after the vehicle's tires were destroyed during the
pursuit.

The lengthy chase began when the suspect, 47-year-old Annette Hurd,
allegedly struck another car on Highway 12 in Rio Vista on Sunday afternoon,
according to authorities. Solano County Sheriff's units began to pursue the
woman westbound on Highway 12, and at one point she allegedly turned around
and drove the wrong way.

The chase eventually moved to northbound Interstate 5 as speeds topped more
than 100 miles per hour at times. Hurd managed to avoid several attempts to
destroy her tires with spike strips, but couldn't evade strips set up
between 43rd Avenue and Sutterville Road in Sacramento.

Even with her tires destroyed, the chase continued, and with the interstate
cleared of traffic both in front and behind the pursuit, units ended the
chase by performing a PIT-maneuver, using one of the patrol units to strike
Hurd's car and spin it out on the road.

Hurd finally surrendered to authorities and was taken into custody on
charges of evading police with disregard to public safety, driving with a
suspended license, throwing objects from the vehicle while moving, driving
under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, reckless driving,
and felony hit and run. She was booked into the Sacramento County Jail, but
was later booked into the Solano County Jail where she is being held without
bail.

Hurd faces an arrest warrant in Contra Costa County.

Drugs or alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the incident.

What if old wrinkled Pelosi has exposed herself. Imagine the panic in
the streets.
