Police chase ends in crash of suspect vehicle on Scott Road

Scott Road was blocked off just west of the intersection of Leon Road for about two hours Tuesday following the crash of a vehicle believed to be involved in the report of an assault with a deadly weapon, authorities said.

Riverside County Sheriff's deputies responded about 3:30 p.m. to the assault with a deadly weapon report and located a possible suspect vehicle, said Deputy Armando Munoz. When the vehicle did not pull over during an attempted traffic stop near Scott Road and Murrieta Road, a police chase headed east on Scott Road.

The chase ended about 3:45 p.m. when the suspect vehicle apparently ran off the road and crashed at the intersection of Scott and Leon Road. The driver and a passenger were detained.

No other information was available Tuesday night.
