Hour-long police chase across 3 counties

A three-county police chase stretched across Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties.

SkyFOX caught the vehicle as it was driving on the westbound 91 Freeway in Corona.

While on the freeway, near the Imperial Hwy exit in Anaheim Hills, the driver drastically slowed down to about speeds of 15 mph. This allowed the police to conduct a pit-maneuver. However, the vehicle was able to drive away after being spun by the patrol car. He then continued to drive on the freeway, dodging traffic while weaving though lanes.

During a police chase on the 91 Freeway, California Highway Patrol officers spun the driver, before the driver drove the wrong way on the freeway and then sped off.

The driver then got on the southbound 5 Freeway in Buena Park. He eventually got on the northbound 5 Freeway in the Downey Norwalk area, then made his way to downtown LA on the 10 Freeway.

Just before 4 p.m., he exited the freeway on Crenshaw Boulevard in Mid-City. After driving on surface streets for a short while, he entered a parking lot near 10th Avenue and Washington Boulevard and parked his car in a parking space.
