Bakersfield - A picturesque trip to the sea was ruined for beach-goers as a Lexus driver led police on a wild car chase in California.  

A beach-go captured the moment the Lexus driver was pursued by police on a county beach in Bakersfield California.

The driver headed into the ocean, bogging down his vehicle. He eventually surrendered to authorities.
