A driver pulled a freeway U-turn and stopped at a gas station in a San Fernando Valley pursuit Friday that went on for more than an hour before ending in a head-on crash with a CHP patrol SUV on the 405 Freeway. <\/p>\n
The Honda Accord driver, who is sought in connection with a burglary, maintained low speeds during much of the chase, but went through the parking lot of a 99 Cents Only Store and other businesses and briefly headed the wrong way on a 405 Freeway exit ramp. The driver made a quick U-turn on the freeway and joined northbound traffic in Mission Hills.<\/p>\n
Moments later, the driver pulled into a fuel station and appeared to stop for gas. <\/p>\n
Near Balboa Boulevard and Devonshire Street, the chase took another unusual turn when someone on a motorbike pulled alongside and in front of the car and motioned to the driver. It was not immediately clear whether the driver was known to the person on the motorbike. <\/p>\n
The rider got off the bike and appeared to approach the passenger-side door at an intersection before the car took off again with patrol SUVs in pursuit. The motorcyclist continued to followed the car. <\/p>\n
The chase appeared to enter a parking structure on or near the Cal State Northridge campus before exiting back onto streets.<\/p>\n
The Honda, which appeared to have a damaged rear tire and a detached rear bumper, then collided with a SUV at a nearby intersection. <\/p>\n
The chase came to an end after the driver pulled another U-turn on the 405 Freeway and went the wrong way before colliding with a CHP SUV. The man ran from the car, but was taken into custody by several officers after running down an embankment. <\/p>\n
