Summary
Yesterday in Los Angeles a dramatic car chase, and hostage situation. The chase reached speeds of more than 100-miles per hour. We bring you reaction from the hostage victim. A man who led police on a high-speed chase wrecked his pickup truck, then carjacked a second mini-van, was apprehended after smashing the highjacked vehicle into a center lane divider. The man ran from the vehicle, jumped the middle lane divider, and ran across traffic before he was apprehended after throwing himself to the ground when ordered to do so by police. The unidentified suspect may have hit as many as 20 other vehicles and injured at least two people. The 47-year-old man who's mini-van was heisted with him in it, suffered minor injuries when the car-jacker forced him from the black mini-van, and took off while the man was still hooked by his shoulder belt, dragging him for a few feet. The suspect drove past his home several times during the pursuit but continued on when seeing armed Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies outside. The chase was televised "Live" on L.A. stations, and at one point the California Highway Patrol ordered its units to call off the pursuit because the suspect was driving Erratically and the police feared for the public's safety. Speeds ranged from 70-90 miles per hour during the chase.
