Sheriff’s investigators were looking Monday for a driver who crashed during a brief vehicle chase Sunday in Ojai, then escaped by running into an apartment complex, officials said.

The chase began about 3:40 a.m. Sunday when a sheriff’s deputy tried to pull over a pickup truck that ran a stop sign, sheriff’s officials said. The driver sped away on East Aliso Street, tried to turn right onto East Oak Street, crashed into a wooden fence on a residential property, hit a vehicle in the home’s driveway and also struck its garage door, officials said.

The driver got out of the vehicle and ran into an apartment complex at 307 N. Signal St., officials said.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about the driver should contact Ojai police at 646-1414.
