Chase through LA ends after hit-and-run suspect drives recklessly, gets tackled by CHP

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A woman drove recklessly on streets and on the wrong side of roads during a dangerous chase through Los Angeles Friday afternoon.

AIR7 was over the pursuit around 2 p.m. as the hit-and-run suspect weaved in and out of traffic on the 5 Freeway in the East L.A. area.

At the end of the pursuit, she hit a dip in the road at a high rate of speed that made her stop her SUV after she nearly lost control of the vehicle.

She exited the SUV near Dozier Street and North McDonnell Avenue and tried to run, but a California Highway Patrol officer managed to tackle her a short distance away.

There were no immediate reports of any injuries.

The details of the alleged hit-and-run that precipitated the chase were not immediately available.
