Monrovia and Alhambra police officers pursued a stolen U-Haul over the weekend. The chase began after the suspect, driving the U-Haul, sped away from a patrol cruiser at an intersection. The pursuit wound through residential neighborhoods, the suspect navigating tight turns at high speed.
The chase culminated on a dead-end road where the suspect crashed the U-Haul into a tree, narrowly avoiding a nearly 30-foot drop off a cliff. Shocking video footage captured the near-miss. After the crash, the suspect fled on foot, tumbling down a hill and scaling a fence before being apprehended moments later while hiding behind a nearby residence.
