SAN JOSE — The driver of a Chrysler sedan is being sought in San Jose after a wild high-speed chase starting in the Santa Cruz area where the suspect reached speeds nearing 115 mph, authorities said.

Fittingly, the wanted driver initially attracted the attention of the California Highway Patrol for speeding.

A CHP motorcycle officer spotted the light-blue 2003 Chrysler sedan and attempted to pull over the vehicle about 10:45 a.m. when it sped away northbound on Highway 17 at Glenwood Drive, north of Scotts Valley, said Bradley Sadek, spokesman for the CHP Santa Cruz area field office.

The Chrysler collided with at least two vehicles along the way, though none appeared to be serious, and continued at high speeds toward the South Bay, quickly eclipsing the Summit and Los Gatos before he reportedly crashed while exiting at the Camden Avenue offramp, according to the CHP.

But the car continued on, eastbound on Camden Avenue. The CHP called off the pursuit out of safety concerns and alerted San Jose police to the suspect’s presence in the city.

No injuries were reported.
