Car Crash Leads Police To Kidnapping Suspect

A man is in jail Sunday after taking a woman on a terrifying ride in the Serra Mesa area, swerving and hitting cars as he drove, until she was able to escape.

The unidentified 30-year-old woman was selling magazine subscriptions in the Best Buy parking lot at Murray Ridge and Sandrock roads at about 7 p.m. Saturday when a man came up and said he would buy $90 worth of subscriptions, Sgt. Hayward of the San Diego Police Department said. He told her he needed to drive to an ATM to get some cash and the woman agreed to go with him.

Once in his car, the man started to swerve at parked cars, hitting a few as he drove. The woman pleaded with him to stop and let her out of the car, but he continued to drive down the road, hitting cars along the way, Hayward said.

When the man stopped at a red light, the woman jumped out and ran.

The man drove after her, trying to cut her off with the car, but crashed into another car.

Police arrested the man at the scene and he is expected to be charged with kidnapping.
