The driver finally exited in South Los Angeles and continued on city streets of speeds up to 75 mph. At different points during the chase, the driver almost hit a boy on a skateboard, a couple with a baby, a girl, and a woman.
The chase lasted a little less than an hour when the driver pulled over and ran. The woman who had been the passenger hopped over into the driver’s seat and took off in the car. That chase ended very quickly when the woman hit another car.
She ran into an apartment complex but police were able to find and arrest her a short time later.
