The driver of a Corvette led authorities on a chase at speeds over 100 mph through the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles.

While on the 10 Freeway in the University Park area, the suspect swerved dangerously across lanes, drove over gore points and almost hit other cars on the road.

The suspect eventually transitioned onto surface streets in downtown L.A. where authorities remained in pursuit. It was there that the suspect appeared to have gotten away from law enforcement and evaded capture.

The chase initially began in Pomona and went into San Bernardino County before the driver returned to L.A. County.

Authorities say the driver was wanted for a vehicle code violation and was driving without license plates.
