A Ridgefield man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly fleeing from a crash site and leading Oregon police on a high-speed pursuit, according to the Multnomah County (Ore.) Sheriff’s Office.
Around 10 that night, deputies were sent to the 23800 block of Northeast Holladay Street in Wood Village, Ore., after a car struck some property and fled eastbound.
Deputies spotted the suspect vehicle, a gray Honda coupe, on Interstate 84 west and pursued the vehicle until it took off at a high speed, the sheriff’s office said.
Portland police officers then followed the car until it exited Interstate 405 at Salmon Street in Portland. An officer used a technique of pushing the vehicle into a controlled spinout. The vehicle came to a stop, then went into reverse and struck a patrol car, the sheriff’s office said. Other patrol cars arrived and boxed in the coupe.
