Local law enforcement officials said an off-duty El Cajon Police officer was about to leave a 7-Eleven store in El Cajon when he was reportedly carjacked by an unidentified man.
A couple hours after the reported carjacking, authorities spotted the truck near an El Cajon-area Jack in the Box restaurant and tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver sped away onto westbound Interstate 8. The vehicle raced through El Cajon and La Mesa, went south through Lemon Grove and Spring Valley, and then entered Chula Vista.
The truck drove around the mall before the driver lost control and crashed into a fire hydrant, sending water about 50 feet into the air.
