Forget the explosive, high-speed chases you’ve seen on films and TV, apparently keeping the pedal far away from the metal is the new way to go.
At least, that was partly the case during a police pursuit that began in Los Angeles last night, February 2. If there’s any cautious drivers out there looking to be better represented in action stories, look no further.
The chase began at 7:04pm local time after the Los Angeles Police Department received reports of a man with a gun. The suspect was driving a silver car through a residential neighbourhood at high speeds with police in tow, before he led them to the freeway where he continued driving for more than six hours.
Watch what happened when the chase finally came to an end:
The driver initially showed little regard for safety as he ran through red lights and occasionally swerved to the wrong side of the road to avoid traffic, though he decided to switch things up after merging onto the 110 Freeway southbound.
