Police Pursuit Enters Hospital Grounds

San Diego police officers were involved in a pursuit that moved along Interstate 8, surface streets and even onto hospital grounds Friday.

Two suspects driving a dark colored SUV led several CHP patrol cars through Linda Vista, Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa and even drove near Rady Children's Hospital and Sharp Hospital.

The suspects' vehicle traveled along a sidewalk area normally used by pedestrians and golf carts near the hospital.

The chase came to an end when the suspects drove southbound on Ruffin Road and turned onto  Murphy Canyon Road just west of Interstate 15.

Just before the chase reached Chargers park, the vehicle slowed and the two people inside stuck their hands outside the windows.

One at a time, the suspects exited the vehicle, knelt down on the ground and scooted backward until they were cuffed by officers.

The chase began when a San Diego Sheriff's deputy spotted a person in a black SUV that had a felony warrant out for his arrest around 11:15 a.m. near Interstate 8 and SR 125.

No crashes or injuries were reported.
