Turn "in to" or "into" a lonely lane?

I have a sentence I'm writing where I describe making a turn, as I run, into an empty alleyway. Here is how I would like to say it: I turn into a lonely lane...

1.Depending upon the context, in is an adverb or a preposition of place. In is almost synonymous with inside or within

He turned [his car] in(prep.) a lonely lane = He was in a lonely lane (place) and he turned [his car] around.

The magician turned the prince in to the police – to turn (someone or something) in(adv.) -> phrasal verb = to surrender. (informal.)

2.Into is one word and a preposition of motion or change of state.

He turned [his car] into a lonely lane = He was on one road and he drove so as to enter (motion) a lonely lane.

The magician turned (changed) the prince into a frog. - the state of the prince was "human" and then his state changed to be a frog.

NB. English and English speakers/writers are not consistent: "into" is often shortened to "in" and, where there is no doubt about the context, this is not considered to be wrong.

"Put the sugar in the jar." should be "Put the sugar into the jar." because there is motion involved in moving the sugar from where it is now to the jar.
