He followed the truck for a couple of miles and called for assistance thinking it may be a driver under the influence.
When he tried to pull the truck over, the driver would not stop.
He took Golden State from southwest Fresno to downtown and hit an AT&T pole, shearing it off, but kept driving.
He got back on Hwy 99 heading north where he lost control several times but did not crash.
When he got to the Hwy 99 at Hwy180 connector, he was driving too fast on the offramp and crashed down the hillside and rolled his truck.
He was taken into custody and sent to the hospital to be checked out.
