SOUTH LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KABC) -- A police chase ended in a violent crash involving a suspect and an innocent driver Friday morning at an intersection in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles.

The collision occurred shortly before 11:30 a.m. at Florence Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard, video from AIR7 showed.

Los Angeles Police Department vehicles were in pursuit of the reportedly stolen vehicle when it made its way through the intersection and was T-boned by another car. The first vehicle's front bumper flew off due to the force of the impact.
