"A CHP Oceanside Area officer made a traffic enforcement stop on a white Chevrolet Silverado on SR-76 eastbound/ near Pala Road for speeding and weaving," wrote CHP officer Hunter Gerber. The vehicle yielded on Old Highway 395, south of SR-76. Shortly after the officer contacted the driver, the vehicle took off and a pursuit ensued. The officer got back to their patrol car, in an attempt to pursue the Chevy, said Officer Gerber. "However, shortly after, the pursuit discontinued because they had lost visual of the vehicle.
