Hearst Castle, a famous estate in San Simeon, was on lockdown Sunday after a suspect drove a stolen vehicle into the park and crashed, officials said. The suspect turned into the gates of Hearst Castle during a police chase after officers attempted to stop the vehicle near the town of Cambria. The property is a designated California state park. Dan Falat, superintendent of the San Luis Obispo region of California State Parks, told SFGATE that an initial call came into the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office around 9:54 a.
