Suspect Steals Truck, Crashes, and Attempts Second Carjacking Before Arrest in San Diego

San Diego, CA, May 19, 2025— A wild series of events unfolded Monday morning near Dana Landing when a man stole a pickup truck, crashed it during a pursuit, and attempted to hijack a second vehicle before being tackled by a Good Samaritan and arrested. The incident began around 7:45 a.m. at the Action Sports Kayak Rental business, where a suspect jumped into a blue Chevy Silverado belonging to a local fisherman and sped off. The truck’s owner and a friend immediately gave chase, leading to a chaotic pursuit through Mission Bay into Ocean Beach. During the chase, the suspect drove against traffic, crashed into two vehicles, and rammed a white truck at Sunset Cliffs Boulevard in an attempt to escape. When traffic stalled on the Sunset Cliffs Bridge, the suspect abandoned the truck and fled on foot across the bridge and San Diego River to Quivara Road . There, he attempted to steal another fisherman’s car, allegedly threatening the man and demanding his keys. The situation ended when a nearby bystander tackled the suspect, who was then taken into custody by San Diego Police.
