A Cruise Night event Saturday night in San Mateo brought thousands of enthusiasts to El Camino Real in a largely successful and fun gathering, but one driver ended up with an arrest for evading police, possession of a ghost gun, driving while intoxicated and warrants, according to police.
The popular event stretched from Third Avenue to Hillsdale Boulevard but at approximately 7:57 p.m. at the intersection of Avila Road and South El Camino Real, a Buick made an illegal U-turn in front of officers, causing them and others to slam on their brakes. As the officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver increased speed and fled, driving recklessly into oncoming traffic and through a red light, at which time the “pursuit” was terminated due to the amount of vehicular traffic and potential for harm to public safety.
