Suspect Hit By Multiple Vehicles On Freeway During Police Chase And Dies
Suspect Dies On Freeway After Being Hit By Vehicles During Police Chase In LA Summary: We begin with breaking news: a police chase on the 110 Freeway has ended in tragedy. A man driving a stolen white van has died after attempting to flee by jumping out during the pursuit and falling into oncoming traffic. The chase began around 8 p.m. last night, when LAPD officers from the Newton Division tried to stop the stolen van just south of downtown Los Angeles. The pursuit moved through downtown, passed through Chinatown, and continued onto the northbound 110 Freeway. Near Avenue 43, the driver suddenly opened the door and jumped from the moving vehicle. Video from the scene is intense and graphic. It shows the suspect leaping over the center divider and tumbling into oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes. He was struck by a car traveling at full freeway speed—the impact sent his body flying across multiple lanes. Moments later, he was hit again by a second vehicle while lying on the freeway. He was pronounced dead at the scene. We’ve paused the video just before the moment of impact. Emergency crews attempted CPR and other life-saving measures, but were unsuccessful. Moments later, additional footage shows the aftermath—his body in the middle of the freeway, now covered with a tarp, as police continue their investigation.
