The Los Angeles Police Department was in pursuit of a stolen vehicle near North Hollywood.

The suspect returned to the freeway, at times reaching speeds well above 100 mph as the California Highway Patrol joined the pursuit. While on the 5 Freeway in Elysian Park, the driver crashed into the side railing near the Stadium Way exit.

CHP officers quickly arrested the suspect.
