A driver suspected of participating in a street takeover in West Covina ended up crashing on Highway 101 in the Hollywood Hills after a pursuit on Monday night. The incident unfolded near South Nogales Street and Valley Avenue, leading California Highway Patrol officers to engage in an attempt to stop one of the vehicles on westbound Highway 60 just past Fullerton Road at 10:45 p.m.
High-Speed Pursuit on the Highway
According to a CHP spokesperson who spoke to KTLA, the vehicle involved in the street takeover failed to yield, prompting a high-speed pursuit. The chase progressed onto Highway 101, where the CHP officers eventually had to call off the pursuit due to ongoing construction work on the highway.
