VIDEO: Vacaville Officers Use Spike Strips To Stop I-80 Chase Suspect
VACAVILLE (CBS13) — Officers resorted to using spike strips to stop a chase along Interstate 80 near Vacaville early Wednesday morning.
California Highway Patrol says they were called to help Vacaville police pursue a fleeing suspect.
Exactly what started the chase is unclear, but the suspect ended up on westbound I-80.
CHP aircraft H-32 got a visual of the suspect and tracked him from above, letting officers follow from a safe distance.
