A high-speed chase on the 110 Freeway ended in chaos today as a stolen silver Cadillac SUV crashed into the center divider, bringing traffic to a standstill and sending the driver to the hospital with serious injuries. The dramatic pursuit unfolded just south of USC, near Vernon Avenue, and lasted only moments before the driver lost control.

LAPD officers initiated the chase when they identified the SUV as stolen. The pursuit quickly escalated, culminating in a violent crash that forced the closure of the entire southbound freeway for approximately 20 minutes, with multiple lanes remaining blocked for an extended period. Eyewitnesses reported the SUV careening into the divider, resulting in the driver being ejected from the vehicle upon impact.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene, where they found the driver with a significant head wound. He was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in the crash, and there were no additional injuries reported.
