At least 3 hospitalized after pursuit crash in South Los Angeles

Ambulances rushed at least three people to the hospital after a pursuit suspect crashed in South Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Police Department said they began the pursuit because the vehicle was reportedly stolen. Officers tried to pull the driver over but he drove away at "a high rate of speed." They claimed it was a very brief chase, lasting only a minute. 

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the collision happened at Gage Avenue and San Pedro Street in Florence, a neighborhood in South Los Angeles, when the driver blew through a red light. 

The driver of the innocent vehicle remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Two people were inside the suspect's car. Both of them, only described as 30 to 40-year-old men, were arrested after trying to run away from police.
