Glendora – An alleged drunken driver led the police in a brief high-speed chase that ended in a crash Friday afternoon, authorities said.

The driver was identified as Kirklan Harris, 42, of San Dimas.

According to Glendora police Lt. Brian Summers, the incident began on Foothill Boulevard near Amelia Avenue at about 4:45 p.m., when an officer spotted a speeding pickup truck.

Harris refused to pullover and led the police on a chase for about a mile at speeds up to 90mph before he collided with two parked cars and a tree in a front yard, Summers said.

Harris surrendered after without further incident.

He was booked on suspicion of felony evading and driving under the influence, Summers added.

According to the Sheriff’s booking records, Harris was released after posting $75,000 bail.

Harris is due for arraignment in West Covina Superior Court Today.
