A suspect is in custody, accused of a carjacking that led to a pursuit and crash in West Central Fresno.
It started just after 12:30 Monday morning at Belmont near Highway 99 when officers say a carjacking took place.
Minutes later, police were able to make a traffic stop on the vehicle, which then took off, leading authorities on a high-speed chase.
The pursuit ended at Olive and Carnegie, where the driver crashed the vehicle into a power pole.
The suspect suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital; the victim of the carjacking is okay.
However, the crash knocked out power along Belmont from Grantland to Polk, leaving up to two thousand people without power.
