Stolen vehicle crashes into innocent driver during LAPD pursuit

A stolen vehicle suspect crashed into an innocent driver during a police pursuit in a Los Angeles neighborhood.

The Los Angeles Police Department began chasing the suspect's allegedly stolen Gray Toyota RAV4 in East Hollywood, near LA City College.

After driving around the surrounding neighborhoods for about 15 minutes, the suspect crashed into another driver and three parked cars at the intersection of North Madison Avenue and Monroe Street. The collision pushed the innocent bystander's car into a nearby tree and overturned the suspect's vehicle.
