LOS ANGELES - Three people were taken into custody after leading deputies on a chase through parts of LA County.

The driver, in a white Chrysler minivan, was allegedly wanted for reckless driving.

The chase began in the City of Industry and continued on the 60 Freeway. The driver eventually made their way to Whittier and continued driving on surface streets, narrowly dodging other vehicles.

Law enforcement conducted a pit-maneuver near Pioneer Blvd. and Brian Ct., which caused the suspect vehicle to spin and collide with a parked vehicle on the street.
