Fleeing carjack suspect nabbed

Keeping you up to speed on a police pursuit that traveled through the Valley this morning. On TV news, you could see the guy jump out of the stolen car at one point, hop over the Ventura Freeway center divider near Laurel Canyon Boulevard and manage to run across several lanes of freeway traffic before hopping into some underbrush, and then getting caught by police in an anticlimactic ending to something that could have gone badly.

Here's the story.

STUDIO CITY - A suspected carjacker reportedly driving at more than 100 mph led police on a freeway chase in the San Fernando Valley today before he abandoned his vehicle, ran across lanes and was finally captured, authorities said.

The suspect, who was driving a maroon Toyota Camry, was going east on the Ventura (101) Freeway when he ran over a median near the junction with the 134 Freeway, then abandoned the car near Vineland Avenue, according to a live TV broadcast.
