LOS ANGELES -- A chase suspect was taken into custody after running over a scooter rider during a chase that stretched from L.A. to San Diego County Thursday.
Culver City police chased the suspect, who authorities said failed to yield, on Washington Boulevard. The red, older-model Honda Civic had a cracked windshield and a hole in the rear window.
Authorities initially reported that the vehicle may have been stolen but later said it was not.
At one point near the 7800 block of W. Manchester Avenue in Playa del Rey, the suspect struck a pedestrian who was on a scooter and ran over the man. The suspect never stopped and continued driving.
Authorities said the victim's injuries were not life-threatening.
