LOS ANGELES — A woman suspected of carjacking surrendered to authorities late Monday evening following a high-speed chase along Los Angeles freeways, which saw speeds reach up to 100 mph.
The pursuit began with LAPD officers before the California Highway Patrol (CHP) took over as the chase continued along the 105 and 405 Freeways, with SkyCal capturing the intense pursuit from overhead.
Chase Details and Driving Maneuvers
Authorities have not disclosed what initially prompted the chase, but the white sedan involved could be seen swerving and performing erratic driving maneuvers in apparent attempts to evade pursuing officers.
- The suspect often weaved through traffic, narrowly avoiding other vehicles while maintaining dangerously high speeds.
- The chase passed through multiple neighborhoods, including Inglewood, before reaching its conclusion.
Surrender Without Incident
Just before 10 p.m., the suspect abruptly pulled over in Inglewood and shouted out the window at officers.
The woman, who appeared to be wearing only a black jacket, exited the vehicle and walked into the street, where she surrendered peacefully.
Suspect Taken Into Custody
The suspect was taken into custody without further incident. Officials have not yet released her identity or confirmed any potential charges.
Next Steps
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the alleged carjacking and what triggered the chase. The California Highway Patrol is expected to release additional details regarding the suspect and the potential charges she may face.
Although the pursuit involved dangerous speeds and evasive maneuvers, no injuries or accidents were reported. The peaceful surrender and quick resolution prevented further escalation.
