A dangerous pursuit that began in Hawthorne ended with the arrest of a suspect who allegedly stole a vehicle.
The incident began around 5:30 p.m. Friday when a gold-colored Kia Soul with multiple occupants was making its way southbound on the 110 Freeway.
The suspected stolen vehicle was involved in a collision while on the 110, causing significant damage to the front end.
Officers with the California Highway Patrol began tailing the suspect, but elected not to engage in a ground pursuit, and instead, used its air patrol to follow the vehicle.

The pursuit made its way into the South Los Angeles area, where the driver made several dangerous maneuvers, including driving on the wrong side of the road and nearly causing numerous collisions.
As the pursuit continued, the suspect ran through several red lights and made several dangerous moves to try and evade authorities.
On one occasion, the driver came very close to hitting several vehicles near the intersection of West Adams Boulevard and Gramercy Place.
As the chase made its way into the USC area, several pedestrians were seen walking around the area, making the suspect’s actions more dangerous.
The suspect then got back onto the 110 Freeway going south where officers engaged in a ground pursuit. The driver then pulled over below an underpass at Vernon Avenue on the 110 Freeway, where he surrendered to LAPD officers.
