Pursuit of vehicle with six teens inside ends in ****** at Camp Pendleton

ESCONDIDO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A pursuit of a stolen car ended in a ****** at Camp Pendleton early Monday, injuring six teenagers, according to Escondido police.

The incident began about half-an-hour after midnight, when officers observed what Escondido police described as “suspicious behavior” by a Hyundai Sonata in the area of Iris Lane and El Norte Parkway.

Upon noticing this activity, officers ran the plates of the vehicle through their system, which came back as stolen, according to police. Officers then got behind the Sonata with lights, but the driver failed to yield and led them onto State Route 78.

The pursuit continued on to Interstate 5, where California Highway Patrol took over, according to Escondido police. The chase ended when the driver unsuccessfully attempted to access Camp Pendleton through its front gates, colliding with barriers deployed by base personnel.

Per Escondido police, six people were in the Sonata at the time of the ******, including the driver — all of whom were injured and taken to various local hospitals. Police say all were also under the age of 18.

No further details about the individuals in the vehicle or their condition were immediately available.
