The driver of the car fled when a deputy tried to pull him over.

According to the King County Sheriff’s PIO Twitter account the  deputy could see three adult males in the car.

“The pursuit began at Southeast 392 and 165 Ave Southeast after a deputy saw a suspicious car. The car’s plate was checked and it did not match the car color…. The car was confirmed as a stolen car with switched plates. The car was stolen out of Tacoma.”

According to the sheriff’s office the pursuit lasted about nine minutes. “Traffic was light and the driver of the car tried to loose the deputy by driving into ditches.”

The pursuit ended when the driver crashed the car into a fence, injuring himself.

Charges from the prosecutor’s office are pending.
