Early in the quiet of Thursday morning, a pursuit erupted on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles, leading to a violent conclusion with the suspect's vehicle crashing near Vernon Avenue. According to ABC7, Los Angeles Police Department officers began the chase around 3:30 a.m. after spotting a vehicle with mismatching plates. It was a brief encounter as the chase quickly ended with the suspect's car colliding on the freeway.

The sequence of events grew more harrowing as the suspect was reportedly ejected from the vehicle upon impact. As CBS Los Angeles reported, the situation began with what they described as a high-speed pursuit of a stolen vehicle, leading to the suspect slamming into the center divider. The man behind the wheel, whose identity remains undisclosed, was arrested before being transported to a hospital to treat injuries sustained in the crash.

The chase disrupted early commuters, shutting down the southbound section of the freeway for about two hours, as per NBC Los Angeles.
