San Diego Police Department Officer Scott Lockwood said the crash, which occurred at 11:40 p.m. Sunday in the 4700 block of 54th Street, ended a brief pursuit that began when the unidentified suspect failed to yield to officers.
“The driver attempted to flee but was taken into custody after he crashed into a power pole that caused a power outage that went for a few blocks,” Lockwood said. “The driver was arrested for failure to yield and possession of a stolen vehicle.”
