Spike Strips Used to Halt Truck Chase in Coronado Early Saturday Morning
CORONADO — Multiple law enforcement agencies helped to locate and arrest a man who led them on a vehicle chase early Saturday morning that required police to use spike strips to stop the pursuit.
The incident started around midnight when a sheriff’s reserve lieutenant tried to stop a Toyota truck at 13th Street and Cypress Avenue in Imperial Beach for not having a front license plate, said Sgt. Marilu Marcq.
The driver did not stop and led authorities on a pursuit into Coronado, where Coronado police placed spike strips at the intersection of Silver Strand and Glorietta Bay, deflating the truck’s tires.

I seem to be in the middle of everything these last few days! This incident took place close to my apartment, and I was kept awake by the police activity and helicopter circling overhead for a few hours in the middle of the night. I heard the helicopter make one announcement for someone "to surrender and come out" and that was it, there were no other clues as to what was happening at the time. I wonder which home the fleeing driver hid inside? They said the officers saw an open window and found the man hiding within - very scary!
