CHP officer hurt in foot chase with Hollister man

A CHP officer suffered a serious, undisclosed injury Sunday when a slow-speed chase turned into a foot pursuit near the Gilroy Premium Outlets, police said.
GPD officers attempted a traffic stop on a silver 2004 Dodge Neon on San Ysidro Avenue around 6 p.m. when the driver, 29-year-old Hollister resident Daniel Tanner, bolted. Sort of.
Tanner led police on a pursuit that failed to eclipse the 20 mph threshold, even when he drove onto U.S. Highway 101 at Leavesley Road, according to GPD.
GPD and CHP officers then used what’s known as a “pursuit intervention technique” – or “PIT” maneuver – to force Tanner’s slow-moving car to suddenly turn sideways and stop, Gallacinao said.
Tanner then jumped out of the car and fled to the area near In-N-Out Burger. During the chase, a CHP officer suffered an injury and was transported to a Bay Area hospital, Gallacinao said.
Gallacinao wouldn’t comment on the extent of the injury, and attempts to reach an official at the Hollister-Gilroy CHP officer were not successful as of press time.
Tanner was booked on suspicion of resisting arrest with significant injury, evading and driving with a suspended license, according to police.
