Subsequent investigations revealed that the suspects were also involved in similar crimes in Solano County and Marin County earlier that day.
Shortly after the initial report, law enforcement officers spotted the suspect vehicle heading westbound on Highway 24. The suspects attempted to evade capture, leading to a pursuit that culminated in a collision on Camino Pablo, which transitions into San Pablo Dam Road.

Additionally, the driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash was hospitalized for precautionary measures.
