Deputies spotted a vehicle traveling without its lights on about 2:12 a.m. near West El Camino Avenue and Interstate 80, said Sgt. Ed Igoe, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled and a pursuit began, Igoe said.
The pursuit ended when the teen crashed into two vehicles near El Centro Road in an unincorporated area of Natomas just north of Sacramento’s Willowcreek neighborhood.

One of the other drivers was taken to a hospital with injuries. The person was upgraded from critical to stable condition later in the morning, Igoe said. A second driver struck in the crash was not injured, he said.
