Three people were injured in a crash in Santa Rosa Saturday after an 18-year-old driving a Mustang with a fake license plate reading 'WILL RUN' fled from CHP officers, authorities said.
ROHNERT PARK -- CHP said officers tried to pull over a Ford Mustang with the distinctive license plate in Rohnert Park for speeding, but the driver refused to comply and sped away, eventually heading north on U.S. Highway 101. The suspect allegedly hit speeds of over 100 mph, and a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office helicopter had to provide assistance as patrol cars backed off the pursuit.
Both vehicles suffered major damage in the collision and the passengers of the SUV, a child and two adults -- were injured. They were taken to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries. The injured parties were not identified. Meanwhile, CHP officers said they arrested the driver of the Mustang on various felony charges. CHP identified the suspect as 18-year-old Healdsburg resident Marcus Burton and confirmed that Burton featured a number of photos of the vehicle on his Facebook page.
