Bay Area police chase: Suspect crashes into cops, runs across freeways
Bay Area police chase: Suspect crashes into cops, runs across freeways

Newly-released video shows a chaotic police pursuit that happened this summer in the Bay Area. A 28-year-old East Bay man was out on bail in a manslaughter case when he allegedly committed multiple carjackings, crashed head-on into a police SUV, and ran across multiple freeways — even after falling roughly 20 feet onto pavement and being hit by a car. Victor Topete, of Pittsburg, is facing 15 felonies and three misdemeanor charges, all stemming from a two-day period last June when Topete allegedly led police on multiple chases across city streets and Bay Area freeways in an ultimately failed attempt to escape. The ordeal started in Pittsburg and ended in Oakland. Watch the full video here: https://bayareane.ws/3aTRC1d
