The Honda reportedly clipped a white van while entering the 101 freeway from Glendale Blvd.

The pursuit began shortly after 7:55 on Wednesday.

The suspect entered and exited the freeway several times.

It was reported that the suspect, or suspects, was also wanted in relation to a shooting that occurred earlier in the week.
