Car Chase Through Los Angeles Ends In San Gabriel Valley

MONTEREY PARK, CA — A wild car chase from South Gate to Monterey Park on Wednesday morning ended with a driver in custody, police said.

The man was taken into custody Wednesday after leading law enforcement authorities on a chase in a pickup truck, police said.

The man surrendered about 8:45 a.m. after pulling into a business parking lot near the eastbound Pomona (60) Freeway in Monterey Park.

The chase began about 8 a.m. and led into Long Beach and then into Montebello and Monterey Park.

"At times, the suspect drove on the wrong side of the street, but he generally slowed at intersections and avoided oncoming traffic," police said.
