(Rightallegiance.com) – A high-speed police pursuit in Los Angeles concluded with a spectacular crash, captured on video.
On Thursday, footage from a helicopter operated by Fox 11 Los Angeles documented a vehicle speeding through city streets at over 80 mph before colliding with an SUV at an intersection in Koreatown. The SUV spun out, eventually coming to a halt against a building, while the pursued vehicle crashed into a tree.
Following the collision, a person from the pursued vehicle fled on foot towards a nearby residential building. According to Fox 11 Los Angeles, police eventually apprehended up to three individuals allegedly involved in the chase.
The police pursuit reportedly started after an armed robbery. Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Luis Zamorano stated, “They were approached while they were in their vehicle or outside their vehicle. The suspect pointed some kind of firearm at them and took some of their belongings. I think it was like a purse or wallet and possibly a cell phone.”
Fox 11 Los Angeles also reported that the vehicle involved in the chase was believed to be stolen, and a rifle was recovered by law enforcement at the scene of the crash.
