High Speed Chase of Burglary Suspects

An auto burglary crew was pursued up the Nimitz Freeway at speeds of up to 110 mph this evening.  Officers have been on the look out for this vehicle after witnesses saw auto burglary suspects from the Ranch 99 in Warm Springs leave in the silver Mazda SUV.  Occupants of this same vehicle may be responsible for auto burglaries earlier this evening in Milpitas and several yesterday here in Fremont.  Two FPD officers observed the Mazda on Mowry and followed it onto northbound 880 where the pursuit began.  By Decoto they had reached speeds of 100 mph.  As they passed Alvarado-Niles going 110 MPH, the driver of the Mazda lost control in moderate traffic, hit the sound wall in the center divide and flipped over multiple times.  Air bags were deployed.  At least two other vehicles were involved but the extend of injuries, if any, are unknown.  At least 3 suspects were taken into custody and two were transported to a local trauma center.  CHP was notified and they shut down the northbound lanes of 880 for at least an hour.  There are no reports of injuries to officers.
