Department deputy died Monday after he was shot while responding to a domestic violence incident in Rancho Cucamonga. Deputy Andrew Nunez was pronounced dead at an area hospital after he was shot in the head by a man who later led authorities on a high-speed chase on the 210 Freeway that ultimately ended with a violent crash. The pursuit ultimately came to an end near Claremont after a black sedan swerved into the motorcycle's path, knocking the suspect off the bike and into the air at speeds of around 70 mph. Sky5 was overhead at the time of the crash and appeared to show the motorcyclist turned around and looking back at his pursuers before he collided with the vehicle.

As the motorcyclist reached speeds of nearly 150 miles an hour, tailed by a phalanx of police cars on the 210 Freeway, he was putting distance between himself and the home where, according to authorities, he had just shot and killed a sheriff's deputy.
With viewers watching on live television Monday afternoon, he easily evaded a motorcycle officer who tried to stop him. He appeared to lift both hands off the handlebars as he pulled the slide back on a gun.
His attempt at a quick escape ended when he plowed into a gray Toyota Camry, flipping over the front of his bike and launching him at least 10 feet in the air.
It quickly emerged that the driver of the Camry was a San Bernardino County narcotics deputy who was off duty when the pursuit started, went back on duty and deliberately swerved into the motorcyclist, later identified as 47-year-old Angelo Jose Saldivar.
