SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Four men were injured after leading police on a short pursuit and violently crashing into a building in South Los Angeles Sunday, police said.

The incident began as a "street takeover" near the intersection of 54th Street and Avalon Boulevard, where the suspects were live streaming the incident, investigators said.

The driver of the suspect vehicle, a white Dodge Charger, was allegedly doing doughnuts before police attempted to stop the car for a traffic stop, leading to a chase.

While going at high speeds, the suspect lost control near Slauson Avenue and Broadway and hit a curb, went onto nearby train tracks and rolled several times before crashing into a building.

The four men inside the car were transported to a hospital with serious injuries that were not life threatening.

The building suffered some structural damage due to the impact of the crash.

The Dodge was left severely damaged.
