LAPD Pursuit of Reckless Driver in Black Lexus Across South Los Angeles

Summary: LAPD South Bureau units engaged in a high-speed pursuit of a reckless driver operating a black Lexus (license plate 8GLA642) through multiple neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The suspect, described as a Hispanic male wearing a red hat, led officers northbound on Western Avenue, transitioned onto the 10 Freeway eastbound, and later onto the 110 Freeway. The pursuit involved requests for backup, air support, and supervisor oversight. The suspect was tracked through heavy and light traffic, exited at various points, and was involved in a hit-and-run collision with a white van on 6th Street at Burlington. The pursuit was eventually terminated due to the suspect being lost in building cover, but monitoring continued as the suspect remained at large.
