A man driving a luxury sedan led police on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles recently. Police first tried to pull the driver over at a location in the San Fernando Valley but he would not stop. Speeds reached over 100 miles per hour at some points during the pursuit. Even after one of his tires blew out and he was driving on the rims, he continued on and apparently disregarded police signaling for him to stop the vehicle. The chase finally came to an end an hour later in Hollywood when the man suspected of driving under the influence side swiped another car causing it to rollover. The car he hit contained a family visiting from out of state including a 3-year-old little boy. The family was not seriously injured in the accident but the small boy was treated for minor back pain after the rollover accident.
