DUI suspect crashes car, runs from scene

Monterey County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for a suspected DUI driver, who got away after crashing Wednesday night near Prunedale.

The Sheriff’s Office says a deputy tried to stop the driver on northbound 101 at Crazy Horse Canyon Road. The driver refused to stop and drove off.

The vehicle pursuit ended when the suspect’s car hit a pole on Strawberry Road, just past Hidden Valley. The driver ran off, and at last report, had not been found.

Anyone who has information that could help deputies find the driver is urged to call the Monterey County’s Sheriff’s Office.
