A man is in custody after hitting a pedestrian on a scooter Thursday afternoon while leading police on a chase from Culver City to north San Diego County.
At 1:30 p.m., more than two hours after it began and after wending through Long Beach and Orange County, the suspect pulled over in the burgundy sedan he was driving on the right shoulder of the 5 Freeway, near the Las Pulgas Road off-ramp on Camp Pendleton. At least four police cruisers stopped to the rear, along with a motorcycle officer, some officers with guns drawn.
A K-9 was brought in.
