A wrong-way driver was arrested in Millbrae early Saturday morning after crashing his car while exiting U.S. Highway 101 at a high rate of speed during a pursuit, according to the CHP.
Around 3 a.m., officers had been chasing the suspect, later identified as 34-year-old Claudio Valdovinos of San Jose, north on Highway 101 when he attempted to exit at the Millbrae Avenue off-ramp, according to the Officer Art Montiel.
Valdovinos' blue dodge charger hit the guard rail and went airborne, landing on its side near the center median and partially blocking the nearby Millbrae Avenue on-ramp, according to Montiel.
Valdovinos allegedly attempted to flee on foot, but was subdued using a Taser-style electronic control device and arrested at the scene.
Don’t taze me bro!
Probably one of BamBam's Dreamers.
Moonbeam and Co. just gave illegals drivers licenses this year. It’s paying dividends already.
I’m guessing Amish?
Doesn’t matter ... they were driving without licenses.
Wrong-way highway driver? He should probably been beaten within an inch of his life, and forfeited his drivers license and any other vehicles he or his family owned.
Agreed.
There seems to be a lot of that in a nearby metropolis lately. Lots of people getting killed and hurt.
You want to endanger your own life...rock on. Go drive off a cliff. Leave the rest of the world alone. (I feel the same way about tailgaiters.)
Trying to get to the Sanctuary City.
Name sounds Eye-talian to me. And wouldn’t you expect someone whose name ends in ‘wine’ to be a bit tipsy behind the wheel?
A Millbrae PD officer was murdered right there near that exact spot in the 90s.
David Chetcuti, RIP.
