BEAVERTON, Ore. — A wanted man led police on a chase through Beaverton Wednesday afternoon, hitting multiple cars before plunging into a pond.
The crashes led to three people being injured.

Officers spotted Larrazabal, at around 2:10 p.m. near Southwest Erickson Avenue and Farmington Road. They tried to pull over Larrazabal but a pursuit began. During the chase, police said Larrazabal tried to ram several patrol cars.
Larrazabal's vehicle collided with a Lexus and Toyota Tacoma before crashing into a pond near Southwest Murray Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road. Larrazabal, along with a person inside his SUV, were taken into custody.
A woman driving the Lexus was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, police said. Two passengers in the Toyota Tacoma suffered minor injuries.
