San Diego police and Riverside County sheriff’s deputies worked together on a high‑speed pursuit that began Wednesday evening in Jurupa Valley and concluded near the San Ysidro Port of Entry. At about 6:46 p.m., deputies spotted a stolen vehicle traveling west on State Route 91 and attempted to stop it. The driver refused to yield, prompting a chase that continued onto Interstate 5.
Chase moves through multiple jurisdictions
The pursuit crossed county lines, moving south through Riverside County, then into San Diego County. Aviation crews and a K‑9 unit assisted, and no Riverside deputies were injured during the operation. By the time the chase reached the border area, law‑enforcement officers had coordinated with San Diego police to secure the scene.
Suspect arrested near the border
Near the San Ysidro Port of Entry, officers stopped the stolen vehicle and took the suspect into custody. Officials have not released details about the suspect’s condition. At roughly 8 p.m., several police vehicles and an ambulance were visible in the lanes of the border crossing.
Traffic impacts and border closure
A separate traffic collision on southbound I‑5 at Camino De La Plaza forced Caltrans to divert traffic onto State Route 905 at about 8:45 p.m. The California Highway Patrol subsequently closed the San Ysidro Port of Entry for an unspecified period, posting the update on X at 9:20 p.m. Drivers were advised to use alternative routes, including the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, while the closure remained in effect.
Ongoing investigation
San Diego police continue to investigate the incident. No further details have been released, and the story will be updated as more information becomes available.
