Officers tried to make a traffic stop on the semi-truck shortly after midnight in the area of Archibald Avenue and Mission Boulevard in Ontario, according to Ontario Police Officer Ermes Maqueira. The big rig had been stolen in San Bernardino a few weeks prior and officers attempted to stop the vehicle for not having license plates. The driver led officers on a chase to the eastbound 60 Freeway and exited at Market Street in Riverside, according to Maqueira. The suspect stopped the big rig on a dirt shoulder, put it into reverse and rammed into one of the police vehicles, disabling it, Maqueira said. Officers fired at the man as he fled on foot into thick brush in the area of the Santa Ana River bottom.
