"At least two people were killed and two police officers injured in a series of traffic incidents across Los Angeles late Friday and early Saturday morning. The events - which occurred on a night of foggy weather - included police chasing a suspected ambulance thief, a collision between a Porsche and an LAPD patrol car and a crash on the 210 Freeway that authorities said saw a driver ejected from their vehicle and hit by another motorist."
"At least five police cruisers tailed the ambulance on the westbound 210 Freeway, according to footage from a KTLA 5 News helicopter. The California Highway Patrol joined the chase and eventually apprehended the suspect and recovered the ambulance, according to the LAPD spokesperson. The circumstances surrounding how the person took control of the ambulance were not immediately clear. The ambulance is assigned to a Granada Hills fire station."
A series of separate traffic incidents across Los Angeles late Friday and early Saturday killed at least two people and injured two police officers. Foggy weather marked the night of incidents, which included a police pursuit of a stolen Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance, a Porsche colliding with an LAPD patrol car, and multiple freeway crashes. The stolen ambulance was reported taken around 9:25 p.m. in the 18400 block of Lemarsh Street in Northridge; at least five police cruisers tailed it on the westbound 210 Freeway before the California Highway Patrol apprehended the suspect and recovered the vehicle. Several hours later on the eastbound 210 near Lowell Avenue in Glendale, a two-car crash at about 1:20 a.m. ejected a person who was subsequently run over; one vehicle fled the scene. Around 2 a.m., a single-vehicle crash near West Whittier Boulevard and Garfield Avenue in East Los Angeles resulted in a fatality, with the victim pronounced dead at the scene.
