Sparks fly from stolen truck as wild chase ends in the San Fernando Valley

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Sparks began to fly from a reported stolen pickup truck as the suspect drove on only three tires during a wild chase from Palmdale to North Hills Tuesday night.

The chase ended around 10:24 p.m. when the driver got off the 405 Freeway at Roscoe Boulevard and surrendered peacefully to California Highway Patrol officers.

A spike strip shredded the front left tire of the GMC truck, and a shower of sparks poured from the vehicle while the rim scraped the road.



AIR7 was over the pursuit around 10 p.m. as the suspect was driving down the 14 Freeway in the Canyon Country area.



The chase began in Palmdale and went through the 14, 5 and 405 freeways. The suspect drove on the rim for about 28 miles.
