Over 100 vehicles and people were reportedly blocking the intersection. When the CHP officers tried to stop a Honda Accord driven by a 17-year-old Livermore teen, the teen fled from the area, leading to a pursuit with the officers.
The teen failed to stop for a red light at the intersection of Dry Creek Road and Elkhorn Boulevard and collided with a vehicle operated by the pregnant woman.
