A 24-year-old man led Anaheim police on a car chase that ended in a collision with an uninvolved car on Thursday, Oct. 24, police said.
Around 9 p.m., an officer attempted to pull over a black sedan near Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street, Sgt. Matt Sutter said. The registered owner of the car had a no-bail warrant for robbery and gun-related charges.
The driver led police on a 9-mile pursuit into Fullerton. At the intersection of State College Boulevard and Bastanchury Road, the sedan crashed into an uninvolved Prius. The female driver was alert and talking while being taken to a hospital, Sutter said.

The suspect attempted to run from the car, but was arrested, Sutter said. An officer sustained a hand injury during the confrontation.
The driver was determined to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the pursuit. He was being treated at a hospital as of Friday morning.
