The deputy tried to pull the vehicle over, but the suspect started evading, running multiple stop signs and red lights and ultimately leading deputies on a 16 miles long pursuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The Corvette ultimately suffered engine damage, which caused it to fail, ending the pursuit in the 3100 block of the South Freeway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The 42-year-old man driving the Corvette was taken into custody.
