Stolen box truck pursuit

 

 The driver of a stolen box truck maneuvered through traffic going the wrong way on Pacific Coast Highway Wednesday in Malibu. The driver hit at least 80 miles per hour at one point along the wet roadways from the rain to move from LA County to Ventura County. While an LAPD airship was still overhead, officers in patrol vehicles decided to discontinue the pursuit due to the rainy weather and slippery road conditions. The company that owns the box truck was able to track it using a location device, police said. At about 12:30 p.m., the driver rammed the rear end of another box truck on the southbound 101 Freeway in the Thousands Oaks area. The two drivers appeared to sideswipe one another on the freeway until the stolen truck driver exited the freeway in Thousand Oaks. At around 2:40 p.m., CHP announced that they made an arrest. #policechase #highspeedchase
