A wild chase that began in Bellevue around 2 a.m. this morning and traveled over four highways ended back here when police placed spike strips on I-90 to bring a speeding Cadillac to a stop.

The driver, who police suspect was drunk, refused to be pulled over by a King County sheriff's deputy and then led officers on a chase through Redmond, Issaquah and Fall City before it ended on I-90 near Eastgate, according to a report by KOMO. The chase went on Highway 202, State Route 520, I-405 and I-90. At one point, deputies said the man was driving the wrong way on I-90.

The chase finally ended when deputies put spike strips in the path of the vehicle, blowing out all four of its tires.

No one was injured in the chase and the driver was taken into custody.
