SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CA – A driver was arrested Tuesday after crashing into another vehicle while fleeing from police in the San Fernando Valley, California.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) attempted to stop the driver around 2:15 p.m. on Victory Boulevard near Woodman Avenue in Van Nuys. The driver, in a white four-door Lexus, refused to pull over, sparking a chase through Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Burbank.
