Fleeing driver clocked at 150 mph during Southern California pursuit

Two men are in custody after a high-speed pursuit that hit speeds of 150 miles hours before coming to an end in Long Beach Wednesday night.
It’s unclear exactly when the pursuit was initiated, but the two suspects reportedly fled the scene of an illegal street takeover in East Los Angeles that police were clearing when the chase began.
Sky5 caught up to the pursuit moments after the driver transitioned got onto the northbound 605 Freeway.
As CHP patrol cruisers attempted to get into position and catch up to the vehicle, the driver was clocked at speeds of 150 miles per hour while splitting lanes in traffic and blacking out the car’s headlights in an attempt to avoid detection by air units.
The suspect took the 22 Freeway into Long Beach and continued as it turned into East 7 th Street, where he blew through traffic lights, eventually turning onto Havana Avenue.
It appeared that CHP had lost track of the suspect until a short time later when units pulled up on the vehicle parked along the side of the road under a tree.
