A reckless driver was taken into custody Tuesday morning after leading police on a chase that ended when he lost control of his pickup truck and crashed into a fence and utility pole in a South Los Angeles neighborhood.
The driver was wanted for driving recklessly and refused to stop as officers gave chase, the Los Angeles Police Department said. The pursuit of the Nissan Titan made its way down surface streets with the driver weaving through traffic.
Near the corner of 80th and Figueroa streets, the driver appeared to attempt a left turn but lost control, jumped the curb, collided with a fence and broke a utility pole at its base.
With the utility pole dangling above the truck, the driver got out of the vehicle and surrendered to officers.
