According to the California Highway Patrol’s Riverside office, the incident began the morning of September 27, 2025, when officers attempted to stop a Corvette near Box Springs Road and Interstate 215. The driver refused to pull over and sped away, prompting a pursuit that reached dangerous speeds along the westbound 60 Freeway.
CHP officers followed the fleeing Corvette as it exited the freeway in Jurupa Valley near Country Village Road before continuing onto surface streets. The chase ended near Dulles Drive and Philadelphia Avenue in Fontana, where investigators say the driver struck a railroad crossing at high speed, lost control, and collided with a tree.

Photos from the scene showed the sports car heavily damaged, with its front end nearly unrecognizable after the impact. First responders quickly arrived and took the driver into custody before transporting him to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries.
Authorities have not released the driver’s identity or the reason for the attempted traffic stop. The California Highway Patrol said the investigation remains ongoing and could involve potential charges related to reckless driving, evading law enforcement, and endangerment.
No other vehicles or bystanders were reported injured during the pursuit. The stretch of road where the crash occurred was temporarily closed as crews cleared debris and investigators documented the scene.
The Corvette, once a symbol of speed and precision, now serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of fleeing from police at high velocity.
