Dangerous pursuit in Southern California hits speeds of 150 mph

Two men are in custody after a high-speed pursuit that hit speeds of 150 miles hours before coming to an end in Long Beach.  

It’s unclear exactly when the pursuit was initiated, but the two suspects reportedly fled the scene of an illegal street takeover in East Los Angeles that police were clearing when the chase began.  

Sky5 caught up to the pursuit moments after the driver transitioned from the 710 to the northbound 605 Freeway.  

As CHP patrol cruisers attempted to get into position and catch up to the vehicle, the driver was clocked at speeds of 150 miles per hour while splitting lanes in traffic and blacking out the car’s headlights in an attempt to avoid detection by air units.

The suspect behind the wheel took the 22 Freeway into Long Beach and continued as it turned into East 7th Street, where he blew through traffic lights, eventually turning onto Havana Avenue.  

It appeared that CHP had lost track of the suspect until a short time later when units searching for the suspects pulled up on the vehicle parked along the side of the road under a tree.

Officers quickly surrounded the car with guns drawn.  

The driver complied with officers’ commands, opening the vehicle door with hands up and surrendering, followed moments later by the passenger.  

Both men were arrested and put in the back of CHP patrol vehicles when Sky5 left the scene.

Vehicle, 2 occupants plunge into crowded Southern California harbor

Two people were taken to the hospital after a vehicle they were inside plunged into the harbor Sunday night in Marina Del Rey, officials confirmed to KTLA.  

Details are limited and It’s unclear exactly how the incident occurred, but authorities with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to 4675 Admiralty Way just after 6 p.m. on reports of the vehicle in the water.  

L.A. County Fire Department Public Information Officer Marco Rodriguez said the two occupants were able to get themselves out of the vehicle after it went into the water.  

Both were examined by medical personnel with the fire department and taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition.  

Rodriguez said that two L.A. County Lifeguard divers were deployed to ensure there were no other occupants trapped in the vehicle.

A witness, Johnny Hamcheck, told KTLA that a third person, a woman, exited the vehicle before it went into water, though officials did not confirm that detail.  

Footage of the recovery effort showed crews attaching large yellow floating devices to the vehicle as it was anchored to a crane and eventually pulled out of the water and loaded onto a tow truck.  

The vehicle showed heavy front-end damage, presumably from crashing through the steel railing and into the water.  

An investigation into the crash is ongoing and no further details were provided.
