FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who crashed a stolen car into several cars and then disappeared into a Central Fresno neighborhood.

The man hasn't been seen since 11:30 last night. Deputies say they tried to pull him over when he crashed the stolen Saturn into three cars at Shields and West -- then ran away. A perimeter was set up, but at last report, the man is still on the loose.

"The fact that he ran into someone with complete disregard for their safety is something that we really need to actively look into. We're concerned for the public in making sure the suspect is not armed. We're trying to identify the suspect and also locate him," said Lt. Ron Hayes, Fresno County Sheriff's Office.

Two people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. If caught, the suspect faces felony hit and run and auto theft charges.
