Southern California police pursuit ends in violent 2-car rollover crash
Five people were rushed to the hospital in unknown conditions after a police pursuit ended in a two-car collision that flipped both vehicles, officials confirmed to KTLA.
It is unclear what initiated the chase with officers from the Glendora Police Department though officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department received reports of the two-car rollover crash at the intersection of San Dimas Canyon Road and Foothill Boulevard just after 7 p.m.
Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s San Dimas Station also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.
In footage of the crash aftermath posted to the Citizen app, a heavy presence of police and firefighters were at the scene, where the road was closed at the intersection and motorists were being forced to turn around.
It is unknown which of the vehicles was involved in the police pursuit, but both sustained severe damages, with one upside down in the grass and the other upside down in the roadway.
Footage of the incident appeared as if firefighters were working extract some of the patients from the inside of one of the totaled vehicles, though that information has not been confirmed.
Fire officials only said that two of the five patients were listed as “immediate” transports to the hospital, while the other three were categorized as “delayed” transports.
No law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident and no additional details were immediately made available.
