KYMA

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - A vehicle pursuit in Brawley ends inside someone's living room.

The incident happened on Wednesday, March 29 after the Imperial County Narcotics Task Force agents noticed a vehicle darting at a high rate on speed on Highway 86.

The agents tried to stop the vehicle but the driver didn't stop.

Eventually, the suspect drove into a Brawley neighborhood and lost control crashing into a home.

The owner of the house says she was in the kitchen making popcorn when it happened and says she's lucky to be alive.

"I thought it was the big earthquake that is coming when I went to the living room I could see that it wasn't because my other TV was still on its stand so that is went I came outside and I could see a car. A policeman told me to get back inside," said Patricia McKinley, a Brawley resident.

The agents found at least three people in the vehicle with small amount of fentanyl and heroin.

The driver has a criminal history and is currently in the Imperial County Jail.
