Stolen Truck Chase in California Ends in Crash and Arrest After Hour-Long Pursuit

The high-speed chase caused widespread damage, injured at least one officer, and raised questions about California's no-chase law.

  • The pursuit began on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 2:41 p.m., near the Harbor Freeway and Adams Street in Los Angeles, and ended at 3:45 p.m. in Long Beach.
  • The suspect, driving a stolen flatbed truck, reached speeds over 100 mph, sideswiping cars, nearly hitting a bus, and causing significant destruction during the hour-long chase.
  • The chase ended when the suspect ran a red light, collided with two cars, and crashed into a paint store parking lot before attempting to casually walk away from the scene.
  • Authorities confirmed at least one officer was injured during the arrest, while the extent of civilian injuries and vehicle damage remains under investigation.
  • California's no-chase law influenced police tactics, with officers monitoring the suspect from a distance to minimize public safety risks.
