Chase: DUI suspect arrested after leading LAPD on wild pursuit

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A DUI suspect was arrested after leading police on a wild chase from Van Nuys to South Los Angeles Thursday night.

AIR7 was over the pursuit just before 9 p.m. as the suspect fled in an SUV on the 170 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley.

Multiple Los Angeles police cruisers were in pursuit of the fleeing driver.

The driver weaved through traffic on the 101 Freeway in Hollywood and later drove on narrow streets in Silver Lake and the Westlake District.

The chase went through downtown before the suspect got on the 110 Freeway. From there, the driver exited onto surface streets again and arrived in South L.A.

Eventually, the chase ended on Avalon Boulevard, near 83rd Street, when the driver came to a stop. After a brief standoff, the driver exited his vehicle and was taken into custody.
