A brief pursuit of a human trafficking suspect ended in a crash on the eastbound 105 Freeway, east of the 110 Freeway, in South Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, officials said.<\/p>\n
The chase began at about 3:40 p.m. and lasted only about 30 seconds before the crash, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.<\/p>\n
Aerial footage from NewsChopper4 showed the eastbound 105 was shut down and traffic was backed up for miles, all the way to Los Angeles International Airport.<\/p>\n
About 20-30 Los Angeles Police Department officers were seen surrounding the car, which was overturned against the center divider, with the driver’s side down. A tow truck was brought in, and once the car was upright, officers approached the driver’s side and took the suspect out of the vehicle and into custody.<\/p>\n
A Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance then transported the suspect to the hospital. It’s unclear what injuries the suspect sustained in the crash.<\/p>\n
The freeway fully reopened around 5:30 p.m., but the delays continued throughout the evening. Drivers who wanted to avoid the 105 could take Imperial Highway, Rosecrans Avenue or the 91 Freeway.<\/p>\n
The California Highway Patrol was also assisting.<\/p>\n
