The chase happened when the vehicle crashed into the overpass wall and a pole on the 29th Avenue off-ramp from northbound Interstate 880, San Leandro police spokesperson Lt. Abe Teng said in a statement. The crash caused the stolen vehicle to go ablaze and become fully engulfed in flames, but all three people in the vehicle were out of it before that happened, Teng said.
Officers responded about 2:30 a.m. to the 700 block of Donovan Drive on reports that an auto burglary was in progress. Teng said those officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of the one with the suspects and followed it as it went onto I-880 northbound from the Davis Street on-ramp.
After the crash, the driver and front-seat passenger ran from the scene and got away, Teng said. Officers detained the back-seat passenger, but Teng said police released him after paramedics treated him at the scene. According to Teng, no witness positively identified the person as having been directly involved in the auto burglary or stealing the vehicle.
Teng said the suspects broke into two vehicles, located in the 700 and 800 blocks of Donovan but that officers could not determine what had been stolen.
