The driver was mostly traveling at fairly slow speeds, both on surface streets and on the 605 Freeway.

There were at least four times when the suspect made a complete stop at stop signs. At one point, the suspect rolled down the window and made gestures at officers, though it's unclear what the suspect was attempting to tell them.

For the majority of the pursuit, the driver stayed in the San Gabriel Valley area, mostly in Duarte.

After nearly two hours of driving through several parts of the San Gabriel Valley, the driver surrendered to California Highway Patrol officers after they deployed a spike strip and used less than lethal weapons on him at Huntington Drive and Encanto Parkway in Duarte.
