The car then took off the wrong way down a one-way street and the driver accelerated to a high rate of speed while fleeing officers.
The pursuit ended when the suspect drove into Lake Como on a boat ramp. All four occupants inside the vehicle were able to exit and swim safely to a pier, where officers helped them out of the water.
