Driver flips stolen car, knocks over power lines in San Gabriel while fleeing deputies

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (KABC) -- A driver of a stolen car led sheriff's deputies on a wild, dangerous chase that ended with the vehicle flipping over and knocking down live electrical wires.

The chase started around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Rosemead/Temple City area. As the driver fled sheriff's deputies, the car apparently struck other vehicles or objects in its attempts to get away.

At one point, the car ran over stop sticks and then a deputy vehicle performed a PIT maneuver.

The car crashed and rolled over, knocking over a power pole on Walnut Street in San Gabriel and becoming entangled in wires.

The driver got out and tried to run away on foot but was quickly taken into custody.
