CHP Spike Strip Slows LAPD Pursuit of Alleged Murder Suspect on 110 Freeway

A spike strip deployment curtailed a 100-mph freeway chase.

Overview

  • Police tracked a dark hatchback on the 110 Freeway in the South Los Angeles and Carson area Thursday afternoon before it moved onto surface streets.
  • The driver hit speeds over 90 to 100 mph while weaving through traffic and using the shoulder to evade officers.
  • At one point the car drove the wrong way down an on-ramp, causing at least one minor collision before reentering the freeway.
  • The California Highway Patrol deployed a spike strip around 4:20 p.m., damaging tires and slowing the vehicle to roughly 30 mph as it continued with visible rear-bumper damage and riding on rims.
  • The situation remained developing with no immediate confirmation of an arrest, while a separate overnight chase ended near the 10 Freeway’s Washington Boulevard exit with three suspects taken into custody.
