High-speed chase ends in Huntington Park after CHP take driver into custody
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A high-speed chase that began in Pomona Friday night ended in the Huntington Park area when authorities pulled the driver out of the car and took him into custody.
Several California Highway Patrol units followed the driver on freeways and then onto surface streets. The pursuit ended near Florence and Stafford avenues when authorities were able to corner the suspect's vehicle on the road.
Authorities say the driver was wanted for failure to yield.
AIR7 was initially over the chase just before 11:30 p.m. when the driver was speeding on the 60 Freeway and then transitioned onto the 710.
The dangerous pursuit was the second of the night in Los Angeles County.
Around 10:30 p.m., AIR7 was over a pursuit of armed robbery suspects that went through several L.A. neighborhoods. That chase went through Koreatown, downtown and eventually ended in South L.A. when the driver stopped on the sidewalk and appeared wedged between a tree and a building.

After a brief standoff, the driver surrendered and was taken into custody at South Gramercy Place, near 62nd Street.
