A pursuit ended in a standoff between the driver and authorities in Santa Ana early Monday evening, causing a traffic backup during rush hour.
The chase began after a driver failed to yield to authorities, according to Santa Ana Police Department Cpl. Anthony Bertagna. It’s not clear why the driver was asked to pull over or where the chase began.
The pursuit came to a halt at Edinger Avenue and Auto Mall Drive.
Aerial video from Sky5 showed a blue coupe – possibly a Corvette – stopped facing the wrong way in the No. 1 lane of eastbound Edinger Avenue, near the 55 Freeway, about 5 p.m. The car’s lights were on.

Nearly a dozen California Highway Patrol vehicles were stopped in both sides of the roadway, and traffic going westbound was backed up at the Auto Mall Drive signal.
Bertagna said Santa Ana police were called in to help CHP.
