Dangerous high-speed pursuit ends in dramatic crash on 405 Freeway
A man wanted for stealing a vehicle is in custody after an extremely dangerous high-speed pursuit on Southern California freeways that ended in a dramatic crash Thursday night.
The pursuit, initiated at around 8: 45 p.m., was on the northbound 405 Freeway with the suspect traveling at speeds of 100 miles per hour.
While weaving through heavy traffic on the 405 and northbound 101 freeways, briefly exiting onto surface streets and then returning to the freeway, the driver reportedly hit at least three vehicles, including one that was on the side of the road, and kept going.
Eventually transitioning to the southbound 405, the driver of the white Kia, lost control of the vehicle while attempting to cross several lanes of traffic and clipping another vehicle.
The suspect swerved and crashed into the sound wall before careening across the roadway and colliding with center dividers where the vehicle rolled to stop.
Footage captured by Sky5 showed heavy damage to the vehicle, as the hood popped up and the airbags deployed inside the vehicle.
The suspect’s vehicle was quickly surrounded by police who had their guns drawn. The man, wearing what appeared to be a hooded sweatshirt, stepped out of the vehicle, raised his hands surrendered.
The southbound 405 Freeway completely shut down, causing a massive back up while authorities took the suspect into custody and cleared the vehicle from the roadway.
