Highway 1 reopens in Arroyo Grande after crash involving vehicle and motorcycle

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. - The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a domestic violence in progress in rural Arroyo Grande Thursday evening.

Deputies responded to the area around 7:45 p.m., but the male suspect had fled the scene prior to the deputies' arrival.

The sheriff's office said the suspect was seen driving near the victim's residence and deputies attempted to make a traffic stop.

The suspect fled in his car, however, and a pursuit ensued.
