Chase in Laguna Hills Ends With Drunk-Driving Arrest : Law enforcement: A second DUI suspect is cited after ramming into a Laguna Beach man’s car on Coast Highway.

A suspected drunk driver with a suspended license led a California Highway Patrol officer on a chase that reached speeds of 105 m.p.h. on El Toro Road early Friday, running at least four red lights and narrowly missing several drivers, officials said.

No injuries were reported.

In an unrelated incident, CHP officials said a man suspected of drunk driving rammed into a car driven by a 50-year-old Laguna Beach man on Coast Highway, sending the victim to a hospital with a concussion.

The El Toro chase began on El Toro Road near Avenida de la Carlota about 12:10 a.m. Friday in Laguna Hills when CHP Officer Steve Miles spotted a driver moving very slowly and driving erratically.

At a red light, the officer told the driver to pull into a gas station, but the driver--later identified as Hans Werner Vetter, 41, of El Toro--instead bolted through the light, the CHP said.

That sparked a seven-mile chase that took Vetter through three more red lights, narrowly missing several other cars that swerved around him, CHP Officer Ken Daily said.

The chase ended at Marguerite Parkway when Vetter, after just missing a pickup truck, pulled over to the side of the road.

His blood-alcohol level tested at 0.15--nearly double the state limit--and he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and felony evasion of an officer.

He was also driving despite a suspended license, the CHP said.

In the Coast Highway crash, the Laguna Beach man, Myron Van Ness, remained hospitalized Friday in fair condition with head injuries and a concussion after his car was struck in Laguna Beach about 2 p.m. Thursday, Laguna Beach police said.

The drunk driving suspect--Steven R. Winterburn, 22, of Cypress--was treated for moderate injuries at Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center in Mission Viejo, cited by police there and released.

Police are awaiting blood-alcohol test results.
