Teens in stolen car lead police on chase
Two minors riding around in a stolen Honda were arrested last week after they failed to elude police after a wild chase through Ceres and south Modesto.
On Tuesday, Feb. 23 Officer Eric Gallegos saw a Honda Civic traveling eastbound on Don Pedro Road from Collins Road when he checked the license plate and learned it was stolen.
When Officer Gallegos followed the vehicle as it made a southbound turn onto Moffett Road, the 17-year-old Modesto female driver sped off, blowing through a red light on westbound Service Road.
The pursuit continued north on Collins Road to northbound Railroad Avenue. The vehicle accelerated to over 80 mph so when the Honda reached the sweeping turn on Railroad Avenue just before Whitmore Avenue, she lost control and rolled over a small tree on the east side of the road that became stuck underneath the car.
