In a car chase more reminiscent of ‘Grand Theft Auto’ than the usual Los Angeles high-speed chase, a gunmen led police officers the wrong way down city streets, crashed at least six times, carjacked a car and more ‒ all during rush hour and on live TV.
It takes a bit extra for the residents of La-La Land to take notice of a car chase in an area “notorious” for them, according to KNBC. It is, after all, where Kato Kaelin and his white Ford Bronco became famous by helping O.J. Simpson flee the LA Police Department. And, during Monday’s afternoon rush hour, a madcap pursuit that culminated in gunfire made the denizens of the City of Angels sit up and take notice.
The wild ride began around 5:15 p.m. local time east of downtown LA after LAPD officers spotted a Toyota Camry with a license plate listed as stolen, the Los Angeles Times reported. They called for backup before attempting to pull over the driver, to no avail.
Instead, the armed man drove off, zooming through traffic ‒ sometimes going the wrong way ‒ at speeds of up to 60 mph on surface streets through southeast Los Angeles County and neighboring cities. He sped through intersections, ignoring red lights, double-yellow lines and other cars.
