ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- A suspect was taken into custody in Santa Ana after leading authorities on a chase through Orange County Tuesday evening.

The chase started in Anaheim at around 9:45 p.m. and went through multiple freeways.

The suspect, accused of ramming into two Anaheim Police Department vehicles, was driving what appeared to be a blue Chevy Avalanche. After allegedly hitting the vehicles, he fled the area.

He passed through several cities in the county, including Anaheim and Orange.
