SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A traffic stop involving a stolen Jeep backed up traffic on westbound SR-94 near I-805 Monday, according to California Highway Patrol.

At one point, the Jeep went on the left and right shoulders to get away, but finally stopped on westbound SR-94 at Home Ave.

CHP officers arrested three people including the driver, 19-year-old Christian Garcia.
