Lassen Sheriff’s deputies and Susanville CHP were led on a high-speed chase down US 395 that ended in a fiery crash, setting a field on fire in Doyle yesterday afternoon.
Around 3:30, sirens blared as the chase ensued. It is understood that two suspects have been apprehended after fleeing on foot following the collision.
