LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – One of the more dangerous and destructive police pursuits in recent memory unfolded on live television in south Los Angeles County Friday afternoon, involving a driver in a white stolen pickup truck.

The chase began around 2:40 p.m. in South Los Angeles, according to the L.A. Police Department.

The suspect collided with several vehicles and narrowly missed hitting pedestrians as he fled LAPD and California Highway Patrol officers through Whittier, Downey, Norwalk and Lakewood at speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour at times.

In Long Beach, Sky5 footage showed the desperate driver sideswiping several cars and then running a red light at the intersection of E. 7th Street and Termino Avenue. That’s where the truck slammed into two other vehicles and then rolled into a parking lot next to a Sherwin-Williams paint store.

The suspect then casually stepped out of the vehicle and walked down the street before several officers tackled him on the sidewalk in front of a home.

Several people were hospitalized, including at least one innocent driver who was involved in the final collision. The suspect also appeared to be hurt.

The crime scene and accident investigation sites extended throughout the southern area of Los Angeles County as roughly a dozen innocent drivers were victimized.

None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
