DIXON -- A motorist stopped for speeding and drunken driving on Interstate 80 early today in Dixon bolted from a California Highway Patrol officer, jumped the median and was struck and killed by a sport-utility vehicle, authorities said.
Shaun Jones, 26, of Sacramento died shortly after 1 a.m. when he was hit by a woman driving a Ford Expedition on westbound I-80 near Dixon Avenue in Solano County, the CHP said.
The incident began when two CHP officers in a patrol car clocked Jones traveling 96 mph in a Cadillac Deville on eastbound I-80 east of Dixon Avenue, authorities said. The officers handcuffed Jones and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence.
As the officers searched him, the suspect fled on foot -- still handcuffed -- running on the right shoulder of the freeway, said CHP Officer Marvin Williford.
