California Highway Patrol officers are in pursuit of a big rig driver who is wanted for driving recklessly. 

The pursuit began near the Philips Ranch Road exit on the eastbound SR-60, when officers attempted to pull the driver over, but the driver failed to stop. 

As the pursuit continued, the semi truck could be seen traveling along I-10 with sparks flying from at least one of the tires, which was reportedly flat. 

At one point the suspect made it to Banning before turning around on the freeway, heading towards eastbound on I-10 where they were finally taken into custody, near Date Palm Drive. 

The suspect's identity was not released.
