Chase suspect’s car speeds through Los Angeles with raised front hood

LOS ANGELES (WPVI) –A man suspected of assault with a deadly weapon led police on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon even as his car’s raised front hood obscured his view of the roadway.

About 12:45 p.m., the pursuit was making its way eastbound on the 134 Freeway near Griffith Park when the driver transitioned onto the southbound 5 Freeway.

With the white Lexus sedan’s hood blocking the windshield, the chase continued on to the southbound 110 and 101 freeways before exiting onto surface streets in Boyle Heights.
