CARSON, Calif. (KABC) -- A police chase in Carson ended in several crashes Wednesday night.

The pursuit ended on Figueroa Street and Sepulveda Boulevard. AIR7 HD was above the scene and captured at least four vehicles with visible damage.

Police said the chase began after receiving reports of a stolen vehicle. Officers weren't in pursuit when the crashes happened, but were there to arrest the 40-year-old suspect, who has not been identified.
