by SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA — Two men were taken into custody after leading deputies on a dangerous high-speed chase through Bloomington late Monday night, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies Spot Stolen Truck Before Midnight
The incident began on Nov. 11, just before 11:30 p.m., when deputies on routine patrol noticed a stolen gray Ford F-350 traveling southbound near Cedar Avenue and Seventh Street. The truck’s occupants were later identified as 35-year-old Jorge Luis Roman of Bloomington and 38-year-old Gabriel Juan Corona of Pico Rivera.
When deputies attempted a traffic stop, the pair refused to pull over, initiating a high-speed pursuit through residential areas.

During a high-speed turn, the driver lost control of the truck, causing it to crash. The chase ended moments later.
