Hours after LAPD officers spotted the stolen vehicle, the suspect got into an unrelated crash in South L.A., police said.
The city of Torrance has paid a Redondo Beach man $750,000 after two city police officers allegedly spray-painted a swastika inside his car in 2020.
More than four hours later, around 11:30 p.m., the driver was involved in a three-car crash at East Washington Boulevard and South Central Avenue. The drivers of the two other cars suffered minor injuries, but the suspect was trapped in the car and had to be extricated by firefighters, then was taken to a hospital in critical condition, officials said.
Video from the scene shows the suspect’s vehicle mounted the sidewalk and came to rest outside fast-food restaurant Tacos Galivan. The hood of the car was crumpled against a pole as firefighters worked to get him out. Though the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a release that the crash was “reported to be at the end of a police pursuit,” police denied that, saying the crash was entirely separate from the stolen vehicle investigation earlier in the night.Police arrested the driver on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly driving the car at an officer. He was also suspected of a separate, unrelated robbery, Lopez said.
