On July 14, 2018, at 10:30 p.m., Matthew Haney was driving a black colored Honda Odyssey and struck several road barricades at the intersection of 6th Avenue and El Prado, in the Balboa Park area. After striking the barricades, Haney then drove directly towards a San Diego Special Event Traffic Controller.

San Diego Police Officers attempted to stop Haney, but he led officers on a vehicle pursuit through San Diego, Lemon Grove, and he eventually stopped his vehicle in La Mesa. Haney ran from the vehicle and eluded officers.
