A high-speed police chase erupted across Los Angeles on Wednesday, beginning with a vehicle seen illegally driving along the shoulder of the road. The pursuit, which encompassed parts of Hollywood Hills and the 101 Freeway, came to a temporary standstill at the NoHo West shopping center parking garage in North Hollywood. As reported by FOX LA, the chase was initiated after the Los Angeles Police Department attempted to pull over the driver, with the incident unfolding late into the evening without a subsequent arrest being announced.

The suspect's vehicle, identified as a BMW with a severely compromised rear bumper, was spotted breaking speeds of 100 mph, according to SkyFOX footage. During rush hour traffic, this driver proceeded to dangerously weave in and out, as ABC7 described, eventually departing from the 101 onto the 170 Freeway and entering the parking structure of the NoHo West complex. Despite efforts to quickly put an end to the potentially dangerous situation, law enforcement still had not clarified whether an arrest had been made post-pursuit.

Complications arose during the chase when a California Highway Patrol officer attempted a PIT maneuver that failed to stop the suspect's car; it instead led to the removal of the vehicle's rear bumper, as described by CBS News Los Angeles. At one point during the chase, officers were informed that the driver was communicating with 911 operators, although the details of the conversation were not disclosed.
