A pickup truck crashed into a Kohl’s store in Huntington Beach late Friday, sending three people to a hospital, authorities said.

Police responded to the Kohl’s store at the Bella Terra shopping center in the 7700 block of Edinger Avenue around 8 p.m. after reports of a red pickup truck crashing into the store.

Officers found three people with non-life-threatening injuries, who were all transported to a hospital. The store was open at the time of the crash, according to its posted hours. It is unclear if those injured were shoppers, employees or bystanders outside.

The suspect fled the scene and was apprehended by officers at the 16000 block of Beach Boulevard after a short pursuit, said police spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla.

The suspect, Tuan Miller, 54, of Anaheim, was arrested and booked on suspicion of several counts including attempted murder, DUI causing bodily injury and evading police.

Social media footage recorded at the scene shows a completely shattered storefront, a mess inside the Kohl’s near the entrance and a large police presence.
