In a perilous twist following a high-speed chase, four young boys sustained injuries after their stolen car crashed in Boyle Heights. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported a traffic collision at 9:54 p.m. Tuesday, where a vehicle, following a pursuit, rammed into a cinder block wall on the northbound 5 Freeway off-ramp at Calzona Street. The wreckage left three of the four juveniles trapped inside, necessitating an urgent response from firefighters to extricate them, as reported by LAFD.

With the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department hot on their trail, the underage suspects attempted to desperately keep ahead. The driver, merely 14 years old, and his passengers, aged between 12 and 14, failed to maintain control of their alleged stolen Kia Forte, leading to the accident. According to KABC, the juveniles, now all hospitalized with moderate injuries, are expected to survive this harrowing ordeal.

Initial reports from a Sheriff's Department spokesperson indicated that five juveniles had been present in the car, but the number was later revised down to four. The car chase began when deputies from the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station recognized the vehicle as stolen and attempted to effectuate a stop. However, the driver allegedly accelerated instead, prompting the pursuit that culminated in the crash, as detailed by KTLA.

A Sky5 video of the aftermath showed a significant police presence cordoning off the area near the freeway's off-ramp while emergency crews worked to free the trapped teens and clear away the wreckage. Onlookers gathered around the crash site, observing as the events unfolded. Despite the violent end to the chase, all four males were transported to a local hospital, receiving immediate care for their injuries. The exact conditions of the juveniles have yet to be confirmed officially, according to the same KTLA report.
