The officers said the driver was going so fast, the car was on two wheels, crashed into the center median and overturned.

"Officers went over to check on the condition of the driver who was shaken up, complaining of pain. The individual, who we are not releasing his name yet, was actually wanted by Clovis Police Department for felony domestic violence charges," said Fresno Police Lt. Bill Dooley.
