Reckless driver caught in county

Reckless driver stopped by law enforcement after causing a crash on county road. Authorities investi.
Law enforcement officers arrest a reckless driver after a collision on county road, highlighting traffic safety concerns in the area.

A 24-year-old male driving a 1990 Honda Accord, thought it would be a good idea to drive recklessly and evade law enforcement Tuesday just before midnight.

Little did he know he was being followed and tracked by a Fresno Police Department Helicopter. He entered Madera County and CHP Madera officers attempted to make a traffic stop, northbound SR-99, at Cleveland Avenue.

The driver had other plans and continued to drive recklessly, evading law enforcement. For the safety of the public, CHP ground units did not pursue, and relied on the Fresno PD helicopter to continue monitoring the vehicle.
