The California Highway Patrol was in pursuit of a stolen pickup truck speeding through Los Angeles County.

Officers began chasing the vehicle in Palmdale. The suspect quickly accelerated to high speeds and maintained about 100 mph, even after a spike strip punctured a tire. 

The suspect continued evading police on the 405 Freeway until reaching North Hills. He pulled over on an off-ramp after sparks started flying from the stripped wheel.
