Pursuit driver who escaped a hospital after a deadly crash in Fontana is back in custody

A pursuit driver who escaped an Inland Empire hospital following a deadly crash is now back in custody.

New video from Thursday morning showed 32-year-old Noe Banuelos being taken into custody while still in his hospital gown.

The chase occurred Wednesday evening in Fontana after the California Highway Patrol was in pursuit of the driver. It is unclear what prompted officials to initially chase Banuelos.

During the pursuit, the driver rammed into another vehicle, killing the other driver, according to CHP. The suspect was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton for their injuries and that is where he escaped.

Shortly before 7:30 p.m., Banuelos walked away from the hospital. He was last seen wearing a hospital gown.
