As the chase reached the South Los Angeles are around 4:30 p.m., the driver weaved wildly through traffic, driving the wrong way on some streets and cut directly in front of a Metro bus. The vehicle at some point lost the front driver’s side tire, resulting in sparks flying from the wheel rim as the motorist sped on local streets.
The driver ultimately pulled over and he and a female passenger jumped out of the silver sedan. The driver tested the door of a white pickup parked nearby in hopes of stealing it, but the door was locked. The pair ran down several streets, but were ultimately tracked down by pursuing sheriff’s deputies near East 66th and Gay streets.
