Carjacking suspect crashes truck, trailer after chase in Southern California
At least one person has been detained after a search for a suspect involved in a stolen truck and trailer pursuit that ended with a crash in North Hollywood Monday night.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Foothill Division initiated the chase of a carjacking suspect out of Ventura County just before 9 p.m.
The driver of the stolen truck was pulling what appeared to be a coffee vendor’s trailer during the pursuit, which made its way into North Hollywood and, at one point, was traveling on the Metro Orange Line busway.
When the suspect, who was driving at a high speed, attempted to make a turn at Tujunga Avenue from Chandler Boulevard, they lost control and flipped the trailer, causing the vehicle and it’s load to come to a sudden stop.
The suspect then fled on foot, prompting police to set up a perimeter in the area while they searched for the suspect.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police told KTLA that one person was taken into custody.
No further information was provided.
