A pursuit that began in Santa Clarita ended Tuesday with a violent crash near San Fernando, and four suspects were arrested.
The pursuit began at 12:50 p.m. on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway near Golden Valley Road in Santa Clarita, where a California Highway Patrol officer spotted a stolen four-door white 2014 Dodge Charger and tried to pull it over. The driver, however, sped away, said CHP Officer Patrick Kimball.
The driver of the Charger transitioned onto the southbound Golden State (5) Freeway, at times topping 100 mph and weaving through traffic, then drove onto residential streets before slamming into another car at Hubbard Street and Herrick Avenue.
Some of the suspects tried to flee into a nearby park, but were quickly apprehended. The suspects — two male and two female — were all taken to a hospital to be examined.
The suspects’ names were not immediately available.
Kimball said the vehicle had been taken from a car-rental agency at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.
