Portland police say they spent more than an hour chasing a reckless driver Friday night, pursuing him from Portland to Vancouver as the man switched from one stolen vehicle to another – and then drove back and forth between the two cities again.

The driver’s speeds topped 100 mph at times, police said, so they backed off periodically while monitoring his progress from an airplane overhead.

The wild chase began at 7:30 p.m., near North Houghton Street and North Foss Avenue, when police attempted to pull over a Chevrolet pickup that had been reported stolen. The vehicle sped away, and officers opted not to pursue.

Other officers nearby saw the truck soon afterward but also chose not to pursue the speeding vehicle, according to police.

A police airplane monitoredc the truck as it went onto Interstate 5 into Vancouver, then headed east before crossing back into Oregon on I-205. Police say the driver jumped out of the truck at the Cascade Station mall and drove off in a Honda Accord that had been also previously reported as stolen.

Police again attempted to stop him, but he drove back into Vancouver up I-205, moving above 100 mph. Police say they backed off again as the driver returned to Oregon on I-5, running red lights through North Portland neighborhoods and driving into oncoming traffic.

Officers put down spike strips on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, near 122nd Avenue, but police say the driver sped through the obstacle and continued with at least one flattened tire at speeds above 60 mph.

Police say a second spike strip punctured more of the Honda’s tires near Northeast 185th Avenue, and the driver ultimately drove off the road and crashed near Northeast 223rd Avenue in Fairview.

Officers booked Dylan M. Miller, 25, into jail on multiple charges including two counts of reckless driving, two counts of possessing of a stolen motor vehicle and two other counts related to Friday night’s chase.

Police are still seeking information from anyone endangered by the incident and ask for tips to be called in to 503-823-4106 or emailed to GVRT@portlandoregon.gov.
