California Highway Patrol officials arrested an alleged DUI driver who led them on a high-speed chase through the San Gabriel Valley on Monday.
The chase began with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies in East Los Angeles losing the suspect, who was driving a Dodge Charger, before CHP could take over when he was spotted from a police helicopter.
SkyCal was overhead as the suspect drove along the westbound 210 Freeway at speeds of up to 130 miles per hour, at times getting dangerously close to other drivers on the road.
Around 9:55 p.m., the suspect exited the freeway onto Surface Streets in Pasadena, where he slowly drove into a parking lot near Peach Place and De Lacey Avenue, with patrol cars close behind him.
He eventually came to a stop and surrendered to officers who took him into custody without further incident.
