The incident began at approximately 6:45 am when a Fiddletown woman called 9-1-1 to report that her daughter was assaulting her. The call came from 20000 Timberline Drive. “As Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies responded, the reporting party called back and stated that the suspect had left the residence with her two children and a 25 year old male in a black Volkswagen Jetta,” according to a release from the Sheriff’s Office. Responding deputies encountered the vehicle “traveling west bound at a high rate of speed” on Fiddletown Road, east of Fiddletown. The Volkswagen swerved at the Sheriff’s vehicles, crossing into the east bound lane and causing one vehicle to leave the roadway to avoid collision. A second deputy activated his emergency lights and pursued the Jetta. The release said the deputy found the Volkswagen “approximately 3/10ths of a mile from where the deputy turned around” and the vehicle had “left the roadway and rolled over onto its roof.” Inside the Jetta was the daughter, her boyfriend and her 5-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter. All four occupants were transported to area hospitals for treatment. No information has been released on what injuries were sustained. , Chace McKenzie Summey, 25, the boyfriend who was driving the Jetta, was arrested at Sutter Amador Hospital and charged with two counts of child endangerment causing injury, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm on a peace officer and one count of obstructing a peace officer. Summey’s bail was set at $50,000. Fire department first responders and officers from the California Highway Patrol also responded to the incident.
