A man suspected of an unspecified felony was taken into custody after eluding law enforcement in a high-speed chase that resulted in a pedestrian being injured in South Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, September 24, 2024.
The pursuit began in the Torrance area near the San Diego (405) and Harbor (110) freeways, where the suspect drove erratically in a red Lexus sedan, reaching speeds over 100 mph.
California Highway Patrol officers continued to pursue the suspect along the Pomona (60) Freeway, onto the Orange (57) Freeway in Diamond Bar, and the Riverside (91) Freeway in Anaheim, during which the driver occasionally operated the vehicle with the lights turned off. CHP officers attempted several PIT maneuvers to terminate the chase but were unsuccessful.
The suspect later struck a pedestrian near Avalon Boulevard and 84th Place in South Los Angeles before colliding with another vehicle. The extent of the pedestrian’s injuries remains unknown.
The suspect was apprehended shortly before 9:10 p.m. There is no additional information immediately available.
The investigation is ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
