Overview

• A 20-year-old Altadena man died at a hospital after officers found him gravely injured at the scene; his name is being withheld pending family notification.
• Pasadena police tried to stop the gray 2020 Dodge Charger after a license-plate reader flagged it just after 5 a.m., then terminated the pursuit due to excessive speed and reckless driving.
• The car crashed into a house about a mile from where the pursuit was canceled, with the collision reported just before 5:05 a.m.; officers performed CPR before firefighters transported the driver.
• Authorities said the Charger had been reported stolen out of LAPD’s Northeast Division on Sept. 14.
• No other injuries were reported as officials assess the home’s damage and whether anyone was inside; the same residence was struck in an August 2023 crash tied to a case still pending in court.
