Four people were injured, including a young girl, when a car being chased by the California Highway Patrol Friday crashed head-on into another car in Pasadena.
The crash happened about 8:10 p.m. on Colorado Street Bridge near San Rafael Avenue, according to CHP Officer Patrick Kimball.
A CHP unit began chasing the Toyota Corolla after a motorist reported at 7:52 p.m. that it was swerving in lanes, Kimball said. Before the head-on crash the Toyota collided with another car 10 miles away on the eastbound 134 Freeway in Toluca Lake. It was pursued by a witness of the inital crash, before the CHP took over the pursuit.
The Toyota was located at 8:09 p.m. and the driver refused to pull-over before crashing one minute later into a Nissan Maxima.
Firefighters responded to the scene and reported they were treating four people, including one trauma patient and two people who complained of pain.
One of the patients was a young girl and is expected to survive, according to the Pasadena Fire Department. Three of the patients were trapped in the wreckage and needed to be freed, the fire department reported.
