  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Wednesday,
• 0:16
  June 24th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. A woman
• 0:19
  is in custody after a high -speed chase involving
• 0:21
  a stolen vehicle entered in Yolo County yesterday
• 0:24
  evening. According to California Highway Patrol,
• 0:28
  The incident began shortly after 5 .30 p .m.
• 0:31
  when authorities received reports of a stolen
• 0:33
  2025 Honda Accord in Rio Linda. The vehicle was
• 0:37
  initially pursued by the Citrus Heights Police
• 0:39
  before that chase was terminated. The Sacramento
• 0:42
  County Sheriff's Office later located the vehicle
• 0:44
  and initiated a second pursuit. Deputies say
• 0:47
  the driver maintained speeds near 100 mph for
• 0:51
  much of the chase and at one point reached approximately
• 0:53
  150 mph. The pursuit traveled along Interstate
• 0:57
  80 and northbound Interstate 505 before ending
• 1:01
  in the community of Madison in Yolo County, where
• 1:04
  deputies successfully used the pit maneuver to
• 1:07
  stop the vehicle. The female driver was arrested.
• 1:11
  Additional charges have not yet been released.
• 1:14
  In another incident on Tuesday, a woman was taken
• 1:17
  into custody following a foot pursuit in Sacramento's
• 1:20
  Greenhaven Pocket area. The pursuit reportedly
• 1:23
  began near Riverside Boulevard and Florin Road
• 1:26
  before moving into a residential neighborhood.
• 1:28
  Witnesses reported the suspect jumped several
• 1:31
  fences before entering Lake Greenhaven and swimming
• 1:34
  across the water. She was initially taken into
• 1:37
  custody near Shoal Court. Authorities have not
• 1:40
  yet released information regarding the possible
• 1:42
  charges. As Sacramento families head outdoors
• 1:47
  this summer, Sacramento County officials are
• 1:50
  reminding parents and caregivers that water safety
• 1:53
  should remain top priority. County leaders say
• 1:56
  drowning remains one of the leading causes of
• 1:59
  injury -related deaths among children. But many
• 2:05
  incidents can be prevented through proper supervision
• 2:08
  and preparation. Officials recommend assigning
• 2:11
  a dedicated water watcher whenever children are
• 2:15
  swimming, ensuring pools are properly secured,
• 2:18
  and enrolling children in age -appropriate swim
• 2:22
  lessons whenever possible. Parents are also reminded
• 2:26
  that Sacramento County requires children under
• 2:29
  13 to wear approved life jackets when boating
• 2:31
  or entering local lakes or rivers. County officials
• 2:35
  note that water hazards aren't just limited to
• 2:38
  pools and waterways. Even bathtubs, buckets,
• 2:41
  and other containers with standing water can
• 2:43
  pose serious risk for young children. Regional
• 2:48
  park officials are also encouraging visitors
• 2:50
  to exercise caution around local rivers where
• 2:54
  strong currents, cold water, and hidden hazards
• 2:58
  can quickly create dangerous conditions. You're
