LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A high-speed police chase came to a screeching halt in Watts after California Highway Patrol officers performed a PIT maneuver.

The CHP said the call came in at about 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday.

Officials said the silver Toyota Camry was driving southbound on the 14 Freeway approaching the 5 Freeway when CHP attempted to pull it over for speeding.

The pursuit came to an end in Watts after CHP used a PIT maneuver to crash the vehicle just south of East 103rd Street and Graham Avenue.

The man exited the vehicle with his hands up and surrendered to officers.

He was taken into custody just before 10 p.m. without further incident. The suspect appeared to the only person in the vehicle.
