Authorities released new details Thursday about a pursuit and shooting involving sheriff’s deputies that left the 15 Freeway shut down through the Cajon Pass for approximately 13 hours this week.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says the events began just after 7:30 p.m. Monday when deputies from the Victor Valley Station were sent to a disturbance call at a home in the 6100 block of Outpost Road in the unincorporated area of Hesperia.

Arriving deputies were told that 39-year-old Robert Brown had assaulted his spouse and taken her cell phone before leaving in his blue Infinity sedan.

Brown’s vehicle was spotted about two hours later by deputies from the Hesperia Police Department near Main Street and Topaz Avenue in Hesperia, the Sheriff’s Department stated.

Brown did not yield to an attempted traffic stop and instead led deputies on a long pursuit through public streets and onto the 15 Freeway.

After heading south into the Rancho Cucamonga/Fontana area, Brown turned back and headed northbound on the 15 until spike strips and several PIT maneuvers finally brought the pursuit to an end around 10 p.m. near Highway 138.

“During the pursuit, Brown fled from deputies in a reckless manner, driving at high speeds, failing to stop at stop signs, and putting the public in danger,” the Sheriff’s Department stated.

Shortly after the chase ended, a “lethal force encounter occurred” and Brown was taken to a local hospital for treatment, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

The incident and subsequent investigation left the freeway closed until 11:30 a.m. the following day and caused a 4-hour delay for commuters.

Brown was later booked on multiple charges including inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, robbery, and felony evading with disregard for safety.

Surveillance video captured the moment a speeding hit-and-run driver smashed into another car, leaving a woman dead in South Los Angeles.

Footage of the Jan. 6, 2024, crash was released by Los Angeles police on Wednesday night as the search for the suspect continues.

At around 9:20 p.m., the victim, a 53-year-old woman, was waiting at an intersection near Broadway and 60th Streets when, after pulling onto the main road, a speeding BMW smashed into her.

The forceful impact sent her Toyota Corolla spinning out of control as large pieces of auto debris were flung across the roadway.

The suspect, in a white BMW sedan, continued speeding away and eventually crashed into four parked vehicles nearby. He abandoned the BMW and fled from the crash scene without stopping to help the injured woman, police said.

Paramedics responded to the scene and transported the victim to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

The hit-and-run driver remains at large. He is described as a Black male around 24 to 25 years old. He stands around 5 feet 7 inches tall and has brown eyes and black hair. 

His vehicle is a white, four-door BMW 528i with California license plate number 6ROJ328. 

A reward of up to $50,000 is available to anyone who provides information leading to the suspect’s apprehension and conviction.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call LAPD Investigator M. Figueroa at 213-833-3713 or e-mail 34332@lapd.online. The public can also call the Central Traffic Division Watch Commander at 213-833-3746. Or the LAPD at 1-877-527-3247.

Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.

MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. – Arizona is among seven battleground states where polls show former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in a dead heat.

And while many locals listed the economy and immigration as their top concerns when deciding which box to tick, others told Fox News Digital last week that democracy itself is on the line.

“The biggest thing is the orange man,” Mary said in Phoenix, referring to a disparaging nickname for Trump. “We can’t tolerate him anymore. He is a doctor of chaos, and it’s ruining our country. Trump needs to go.”

INFLATION RISES 2.4% IN SEPTEMBER, ABOVE EXPECTATIONS

In Tempe, Bob shared a similar sentiment, telling Fox News Digital that “democracy is the most important” issue on the ballot this year.

Other voters disagreed, saying they’d like a return to a Trump-era economy. Trump is trying to return Arizona to the GOP column after losing it narrowly to Joe Biden in 2020. It was the first time since 1996 that a Democrat had won the state.

“The last time he was in, I thought the economy was a lot better,” Michael said of the former president. “Gas prices were lower. I just think overall it was cheaper.”

He added that the economy is his top concern because it “affects your daily living.”

“Rent, food, gas,” Greg said. “Prices are going crazy ever since Biden took office.”

Inflation is “everyone’s main problem,” Tea told Fox News Digital in Tempe. “I’m at the grocery store every day because I’m pinching, trying to figure out like, ‘Hey, do I need this? Can I buy this? Can I afford this?’ Because everything’s just skyrocketing.”

WHAT FOOD ITEMS SAW THE LARGEST PRICE HIKES AND DECLINES IN SEPTEMBER?

The economy, immigration and abortion were the most important issues to voters in a nationwide Fox News Poll conducted last month. Voters preferred Trump on immigration and the economy, while Harris dominated on the issue of abortion, the poll found.

But Bob blamed food companies and corporate “b—-rds,” who he said have raised prices beyond inflation. He didn’t hesitate when asked which presidential candidate would be better for the economy.

“Kamala, Kamala, Kamala!” he said. “The rich have been riding a wave of tax cuts and not responsibility, and the Supreme Court’s been taking away the rights of the government agencies that regulate things. So we need to get that back in line and Kamala is going to do that instead of putting more Federalist judges up there.” 

While several voters said Trump and the Republican Party in general would be better for the economy, Democratic voters Bob and Mary disagreed. Harris is “decisive” and “deliberate,” Mary told Fox News Digital.  (Melina Mara/The Washington Post via Getty Images)

Brian said immigration is his top concern because the effects trickle down to “almost every issue,” including the economy.

“I think [the economy] is on a precarious level where things could go quite poorly in the next four years, depending on whether more money is spent on things like external wars,” he said.
