A witness who was driving from Carlsbad Village toward the Encinas area says he saw four police vehicles following the car involved.

It sounded like an explosion honestly. It was similar to a firework. It was just one big thud. It sounded like a wave breaking — a really hard wave. It was insane.

Carlsbad Boulevard is closed in both directions from Cerezo Drive to Island Way, and westbound Palomar Airport Road is closed at Avenida Encinas.
