Suspect Leads Police On Chase Reaching Speeds Over 160 MPH
Suspect Leads Police On Chase Reaching Speeds Over 160 MPH-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:16

High-speed chases, particularly in Southern California, seem like they get more dangerous every time they happen. And , with one of the latest yesterday, as on a dangerous high-speed chase that saw a suspect reaching speeds over 160 mph.

The chase began in the Fairfax district of L.A. LAPD responded to a call about a break-in at a house in the neighborhood early that morning. The driver fled in a BMW stolen from the location, according to local reports, though it’s not known if the vehicle that was stolen belonged to the house the suspect robbed.

Around two hours later and over 25 miles away, California Highway Patrol caught up with the suspect, on the 10 freeway in West Covina. The driver was heading east.

The chase ended up winding through multiple freeways. After traveling east on the 10, the driver transitioned to the 15 North, reaching triple-digit speeds in the BMW and passing through three cities.

From there, the driver exited onto the 215 freeway and then exited again and back south on Interstate 15, before heading back onto the 10. At some point during the chase, the driver clipped a semi it was passing.

With the rear bumper hanging on from the impact, the driver exited the freeway onto surface streets and into the quiet foothill city of La Verne, where the suspect bailed and fled.

La Verne police then the suspect shortly after hiding out in a rear house and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. Thankfully, that damaged bumper seemed to be the only damage from this chase. At the speeds the driver was going, an impact with another vehicle might’ve been catastrophic.

Meanwhile another car chase in Southern California on Wednesday , but was a bit less dramatic. Never change, SoCal.

The Toyota Camry Will Never Die
When I was a kid in the ‘90s driving a series of broke-ass Volvos from the ‘80s, a Toyota Camry was, truly, an aspirational car. It was reliable and stylish and had good resale value, which my cars had none of. My cousins, for example, had an XV20, and...

You can thank Netflix for that. story mode pulls more than a few plot beats from Drive To Survive, but it’s still ultimately a squeaky-clean Formula 1 tale.
