A high-speed chase that spanned through multiple cities ended on the 405 Freeway Saturday after the suspected DUI driver encountered traffic on the freeway brought by a car crash.
The pursuit began sometime before 9:50 p.m. in Bell after police responded to a report of a possible DUI driver. After refusing to yield to authorities, police initiated a chase that the California Highway Patrol then took over.
Traveling at excessive speeds, even reaching a whopping 125 mph at some point, the driver zoomed through Hawthorne, Los Angeles, Alhambra, Cerritos, Long Beach and other cities in between before encountering traffic that was at a standstill on the northbound 405 Freeway near Inglewood.
Aerial footage from NewsChopper 4 captured the driver stopping with the traffic, then surrendering to police at the same time as his passenger.
