MOUNT WASHINGTON, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A grand theft auto suspect exited a cargo van on the 110 Freeway and was struck by a passing vehicle Monday night after a police chase ended in Mount Washington, prompting authorities to shut down all lanes on the freeway in both directions.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. when the driver slowed the van to a crawl in a northbound lane near East Avenue 43 and climbed through the driver side window, landing on the freeway’s center median.<\/p>\n

The driver rolled off the median and onto the southbound side of the freeway, where he was immediately struck by a vehicle.<\/p>\n

Police and firefighters quickly arrived at the crash site, and paramedics were seen administering CPR to the suspect, who was lying in a center lane.<\/p>\n

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Details of where and when the van was allegedly stolen were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Police Department initiated the chase and requested the California Highway Patrol to take over after the van entered the 110 Freeway.<\/p>\n

Whether one or both agencies were involved in the pursuit when the suspect exited the van was unclear.<\/p>\n

In a social media post published at 9:47 p.m., the CHP said the freeway closure “will remain in effect for approximately six hours due to police activity.”<\/p>\n
