WATCH LIVE: Suspect in stolen truck continues to lead LAPD on pursuit across the San Fernando Valley despite driving over multiple spike strips.
The chase made its way from Northridge to to Canoga Park shortly after 7:30 a.m., following a hit-and-run crash that occurred about 10 minutes earlier in Chatsworth, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The suspect was behind the wheel of a white concrete-pumping pickup truck with a small trailer behind it. The name of the commercial company that owns the truck was visible on the doors. At one point, about a half-dozen Los Angeles Police Department patrol vehicles were chasing the vehicle on the ground while an LAPD helicopter followed overhead. The police cars later backed off and went into "tracking mode."
Officers attempted to disable the pickup truck several times with a spike strip but were initially unsuccessful. Shortly before 9 a.m., a spike strip apparently flattened the truck's right front tire as the vehicle moved through a road-work area. The tire later fell off and the metal wheel was dragging along on the roadway.Related Topics
