SAN ANTONIO — A driver attempted to breach the Joint Base San Antonio - Camp Bullis on Saturday afternoon, authorities say. 

Security personnel responded when a driver did not stop at the base entrance in northwest San Antonio. 

Officials say security pursued the driver and took defensive measures when the driver attempted to exit the facility by using the inbound lane while traveling at a high rate of speed. 

The driver exited the facility and went down Northwest Military Highway, authorities say. 

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office and the San Antonio Police Department were notified of the incident and searched the area for the driver.
