Chase suspect flees from police after high-speed pursuit through San Fernando Valley; search continues

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The search continued Wednesday for a reckless driver who led police on a high-speed chase through the San Fernando Valley the previous evening.

The pursuit was marked by multiple near-misses that almost resulted in collisions on surface streets.

The driver of an SUV eventually turned onto a side street and a man wearing a baseball cap exited the vehicle under the spotlight from a law enforcement helicopter overhead. Officers swarmed the area and quickly took that individual into custody.
