Officers chased a speeding driver wanted on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles County Wednesday night.
The chase began out of Lynwood as the suspect drove a Mazda SUV and several Los Angeles Police Department officers trailed closely behind.
At times, the suspect narrowly missed other vehicles while running red lights and speeding on surface streets. The driver entered the northbound 710 Freeway and later transitioned to the 105 and the 110.
On the freeway, the driver weaved dangerously through traffic while hitting speeds of nearly 100 mph. At times, the driver was seen making hand gestures out the window.
The suspect exited in South L.A. and continued speeding on surface streets, at one point, driving the wrong way.

It’s unclear whether there were additional passengers inside the SUV.
