CELEBRATION HeadStart celebrates 50 years nationwide By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A 25-year-old Rock- lin man was arrested early Thursday morning in connec- tion with a Wednesday evening crash on the northbound Inter- state 5 Flores Avenue off-ramp following a short pursuit. Brandon R. Hasty was ini- tially stopped for speeding, but sped off after stopping, re- sulting in a short pursuit, ac- cording to a Red Bluff Cali- fornia Highway Patrol spokes- man. Speeds reached up to 130 mph, a Redding CHP spokes- man said. Just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Hasty took the off- ramp at an unsafe speed, lost control of his 2002 Volvo and hit a metal guard rail at the south end of Oat Creek Bridge, coming to rest on its wheels across the off-ramp, according to a CHP release.
