A high-speed chase ended in a crash that left four injured in Palmdale.

CHP officers initially wanted to cite the driver of the Honda Civic at 9:30 p.m. Monday for having tail lights that weren’t working properly, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Elizabeth Kravig.

A CHP officer then ran the car’s plates and records showed the vehicle was reported stolen, Kravig said.

The officer attempted to stop the vehicle at 9:33 p.m. on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in the Rancho Vista area, but the driver fled, prompting the chase.

The chase ended at 9:47 p.m. when the Honda crashed into two other vehicles in the intersection of East 47th Street and Avenue R in Palmdale, Kravig said.

Three of the four people injured were taken to a hospital, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, but none of their injuries were life- threatening.

KCAL9 reported at least one of the injured parties was the man who was driving the Honda.

Kravig said it was not immediately known if anyone was in custody.
