A man suspected of stealing a vehicle and leading California Highway Patrol officers on a chase was taken into custody Monday following a collision in Echo Park.
The chase began on the northbound Harbor (110) Freeway around 6 p.m., then continued on streets in downtown Los Angeles.
At one point during the pursuit, the suspect reversed the vehicle after running into congested traffic near the Hollywood (101) Freeway in Echo Park and occasionally drove in the wrong direction.
The chase ended when the vehicle collided with a car in the intersection of Glendale Boulevard and Park Avenue in Echo Park.
The suspect exited the vehicle and began walking before being taken into custody by CHP officers.
