RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) — A chase involving a stolen big rig ended with a police shooting in Riverside, and authorities on Monday morning were searching for the outstanding suspect in a river bed.
The pursuit started shortly after midnight at Archibald Avenue and Mission Boulevard in Ontario when officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a big rig without plates, according to the city’s police department.
The driver did not stop and led officers on a chase across county lines into Riverside.
Eventually, the suspect drove into a bike path at Market and Rivera streets, where police say he put the large vehicle in reverse and rammed at least one patrol car. That prompted officers to open fire, but nobody was hit.
The suspect then ran into a nearby river bed, where officers were searching for him hours later. Police brought out bloodhounds to help the search.
