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.
