En Californie, les chaînes de télévision américaines ont interrompu leurs programmes pour diffuser une incroyable course-poursuite entre un camion et des voitures de police qui ont tenté de l'arrêter. Au volant, un homme recherché par la police après avoir pris possession d’un camion à Long Beach, aux États-Unis.
Durant sa course-poursuite, le suspect percute régulièrement des véhicules, tout en poursuivant son chemin. La course, qui a duré plus d’une heure, s’est terminée comme bien souvent dans ces cas en accident de la route.
Le chauffard a grillé un feu de circulation avant de percuter deux automobilistes. Dans l’un des véhicules impliqués se trouvait un homme âgé, qui a été emmené vers l’hôpital.
Sous la violence de la collision, le camion de chantier a foncé sur le parking d’un magasin de peinture, pour y terminer sa course.
Le suspect a tenté de prendre la fuite, avant d’être rapidement appréhendé par les forces de l’ordre.

00:00Welcome to Fox 11 News, an early edition. We're on early today because of UFL football at 5 o'clock. I'm Alex Michelson.
00:08And I'm Christine Devine. You're looking at breaking news. We are covering this at the end of this violent pursuit, violent ending here
00:17where the suspect hit both of these cars, vehicles here in an intersection. We know at least one person injured and taken away on a gurney.
00:25The suspect walked down the street. Let's take a look at some of this pursuit here. Alex, driving on the wrong side of the road here and over the median.
00:33Yeah, we've been on with you live for at least the last half hour as we watched all this unfold together.
00:39You see this driver wanted for a stolen vehicle, potentially more than that, taking this vehicle on a ride through the streets of Whittier and other nearby neighborhoods,
00:52oftentimes going on the wrong side of the road, driving over intersections, driving recklessly and continuing to hit multiple different vehicles and not seeming to mind.
01:05Here you see some of the stretches in terms of the way this driver was driving back and forth over center medians right there, barely missed a car.
01:16And but unfortunately did connect with several different vehicles as he continued to drive. So here is some of that video. You look at this here driving over the center median because he had such a strong heavy duty vehicle was able to go.
01:31But one, two, three cars hit there and then continuing to drive on as all the rest of these people had their days ruined and continues to move over the side here. And you know, that's the same shot that we just looked at.
01:48It's amazing. As you look at that right there, that didn't end the pursuit. He kept on going. Look how dangerous you're splitting in between these cars going the wrong way. And then he hits that car right there, spins out there and keeps on going. It's amazing that there was accident after accident. There we go. Right there. That is the one that we did fear would have some injuries.
02:11Crash right there. Watch now. Watch. He gets out of the vehicle. He's going to walk down the street. The danger here, he could have gone into any one of those businesses there, tried to carjack another car. But there you go. As if it's just another day. Easy Friday afternoon. And police were not right there. In case you're wondering, we're wearing the police speeding right up on him.
02:30They had backed off this pursuit because it was so very dangerous. That police helicopter obviously overhead. But watch how far he's able to walk down the street. He's going to round the corner and go into the neighborhood. Here we go. He's already turned the corner into the neighborhood coming right here. Police still not there. And there you go. That was a takedown right there.
02:50Look what happens to the officer who gets his head probably hitting the concrete. The full weight of this pretty large, strong man right on top of him. And that is how this thing ends. But you see that officer shooken up. The officer taken away on a gurney. The suspect eventually taken away will be taken away on a gurney.
03:17And we know that at least one driver or passenger, somebody in one of the vehicles was taken away on a gurney, too. There may be even more injuries than that. Look like an elderly man. Let's talk to Tim Lynn. Tim, as you've been watching all of our coverage here in this pursuit here, what do you make of this? And this is one of the more dangerous ones where so many vehicles were hit.
03:39It has was. This thing was a very dangerous pursuit and it's the worst one I've seen so far this year. But yeah, on a thing like this, when you're the pack of flight officer in the helicopter watching all this go down, just be able to keep yourself in check and keep your voice calm to not cause any other officers to pamper up.
03:59But yeah, when they're driving a vehicle of that size and able to go over the center dividers and then ram through cars and keep pushing through, you know, you have the weapon. The weapon was that heavy vehicle and the mindset of I'm going to get away. And, you know, it doesn't matter who got in his way. He was going to push them out of the way or ram them.
04:19And even with that hard hit at the very end, to be able to get out and casually walk off is this shows you the mindset or the temperament of the person, you know, not even trying to figure out what happened or look back to see if he had really hurt somebody, could care less, just walks away and wanting to just escape.
04:40Yeah, so this story is going to continue to be a scene for the next few hours for sure. We have reporter and crew headed to try to get more information, try to get some more updates on all the people that were hit.
04:58There's going to be looky loose and all the rest of that in this scene for a while. It also would be great to try to get some background on who this suspect is and what he was wanted for and some background on what led to all of this. And we're going to continue to follow this throughout the night.
05:15Our reporter at last goes is on the way to this scene here. It seems that the people in the van to the right might be OK. There was no emergency personnel at that van that we saw when we were there. But the white van or SUV there on the left, that's where you saw an elderly man who looked like he was pretty shaken up there. We're not sure if he was the driver or the passenger.
05:38But also keep in mind this initial truck, the suspect truck, that's a stolen vehicle. Can you imagine, Tim? You're that person watching your stolen vehicle plow through the streets of Southern California, doing all of that damage.
05:53Very well. Watching your livelihood go away. That might be the only asset they have to do their business. So completely destroyed, not able to be used ever again. So now they have that to deal with. But it doesn't. It pales in comparison to the folks that are gotten hit, got hit by this and just hope that they are going to come out of this OK and not have long lasting injuries.
06:16Yeah, long trail of destruction on this one and don't like seeing that. All right, Tim, thank you for your perspective on all this. Always valuable. We're going to continue to try to gather more information and likely go back to this throughout this newscast and certainly have a lot more on this tonight on the Fox 11 News at 10.
