A car being pursued by California Highway Patrol officers early Sunday, Jan. 25 flew off the 105 Freeway and crashed to the ground below near Los Angeles International Airport, the CHP said.
The driver’s face was bloody, and he appeared dazed after El Segundo firefighters cut him out of a Chevrolet Camaro, as seen in a video by freelance news organization OnScene.TV. The man was arrested and hospitalized.
The pursuit began when officers attempted to pull over the car for speeding on the westbound 10 Freeway at Vincent Avenue, CHP spokeswoman Megan Curtiss said. The driver failed to stop, and the crash happened around 2:07 a.m. near N. Nash Street and Imperial Highway, she said.
The OnScene.TV footage showed a red sedan that was apparently involved in a collision at the end of the pursuit. The video also showed a gun that the CHP had seized, as well as a saw and a computer device. No details about those items were available on Sunday.
