    On 07/22/20 at approximately 12:16 AM a Santa Paula Police Officer initiated a traffic stop of a black Nissan in the 100 block of N 8th St for a vehicle code violation.

The driver accelerated away, did a u-turn, and drove directly at the officer. The officer narrowly avoided being struck by the vehicle. Multiple Santa Paula officers initiated a pursuit of the vehicle through the streets of Santa Paula, entering the westbound SR126 at Palm Avenue.
