The plates LAPD ran on the vehicle do not apparently match.

As the suspect drove on S. Alameda St., he narrowly dodged multiple vehicles and even drove on the wrong side of the road. At one point during the chase, he barely missed hitting another car head-on. 

The suspect eventually ditched the first vehicle under the 10 Freeway near Hoover St. and Slauson Ave. and got into a red vehicle.
