After crashing, Alvarez ran away. A Beaverton K-9 tracked Alvarez to Southwest 113th Avenue and Cabot Street, where he was taken into custody. Alvarez told officers he ran because he didn’t have a valid license, police said.

He was booked into the Washington County Jail on charges of reckless driving, felony elude and misdemeanor elude.

TriMet MAX trains were briefly delayed because Alvarez was running on the tracks.
