Three Arrested After Car Chase Ends in Crash
Police Tuesday arrested a man and two juveniles who led them on a high-speed chase that ended when they slammed into a car carrying two young women, roared across traffic lanes and smashed into a bus stop bench, narrowly missing two people.
The chase began about 7:15 p.m. near Roscoe Boulevard and the Hollywood Freeway, when anti-gang officers spotted the 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass, which had been reported stolen. Police ordered the driver to stop, but he fled. As the vehicle headed north on Glenoaks Boulevard, it struck a car that was entering the intersection.
Victor and Dionely Vizcarra, both 21, who were standing near the bus bench with their bicycles, scrambled for safety as the car sped toward them.
After crashing into the bus bench, the suspects surrendered to police.
The condition of the women in the car was not immediately known, but their injuries did not appear major.
