An allegedly intoxicated driver traveled up and down the Cuesta Grade in the wrong direction Saturday night, prior to heading over to the right side of Highway 101 and leading CHP officers on an approximately two-hour, 45-minute pursuit through San Luis Obispo and South County.
The officer sped ahead of the wrong-way driver and turned around at Monterey Street in order to create a traffic break in attempt to stop the truck. The attempt failed, and the driver continued heading southbound in the northbound lanes. CHP officers overtook the suspect and tried a second time to stop the driver. The suspect did not yield, and a pursuit ensued. At least initially, the driver fled at speeds of about 10 mph or less.
Due to the damaged front tires, the truck eventually stopped on northbound Highway 101 near Spyglass Drive. However, the suspect refused to exit the vehicle.
