Police Chase From D.U.I. Checkpoint Ends In Crash - Modesto News

Last night the Modesto Police Department held a D.U.I. Checkpoint on Scenic Ave. west of Coffee Rd.

At around midnight a man came thru the checkpoint who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. When Modesto Police asked the man to pull to the side of the road to conduct a field sobriety test he fled from the D.U.I. checkpoint in his vehicle.

Police pursued the suspect who at one point during the chase attempted to ram a Modesto Police Officer's car.

The chase ended up on Lucern Ave. and as the suspect attempted to turn south onto El Cajon Ave. he lost control of his vehicle crashing into a parked car parked near the corner.

Police blocked the man in and had to break the passenger side window of the car to pull the man out who was still resisting arrest.

No one was injured in the chase and crash however, one Modestan had damage to their vehicle.

The man was booked on charges related to the chase, assault with a deadly weapon, and D.U.I.
