LOS ANGELES — A man suspected of stealing a vehicle in Ventura County and fleeing into Los Angeles County, where the pursuit led to a crash that injured two police officers in Toluca Lake, carjacked two other vehicles during a chase that hit speeds topping 100 mph and ultimate led back to Ventura County, where the suspect was eventually boxed in by pursuing officers and arrested Wednesday afternoon.
It was unclear exactly when and where the series of auto thefts began, but around 11 a.m. Wednesday, a pair of Los Angeles Police Department officers who were pursuing the suspect were injured in a traffic crash on the 10500 block of Riverside Drive, near Cahuenga Boulevard, according to the LAPD.
Shortly before 2 p.m., with the BMW also appearing to be disabled, the suspect pulled into another gas station in the Woodland Hills area and stole another white minivan. The suspect then headed west on the 118 Freeway, again hitting speeds over 100 mph, before reaching the 23 Freeway, where he was boxed in by a trio of police cruisers, one of which the suspect struck while driving in reverse in an unsuccessful attempt to escape.There was no immediate word of any other injuries during the crime spree, other than the officers in Toluca Lake.
