WHITTIER -- A wanted parolee led police on a chase through Whittier Wednesday before she ultimately pulled over and surrendered, authorities said.

Monique Ramos, 30, was booked on suspicion of evading police and violating parole, Whittier police Sgt. Gregg Hamilton said.

An officer tried to stop her car for running a red light about 9:35 a.m. at Whittier Boulevard and Mar Vista Street, police said.

Ramos refused to pull over and led police on a chase through Uptown Whittier before making her way back to Whittier Boulevard and heading west, the lieutenant said.

The car finally pulled over on Whittier Boulevard at Esperanza Avenue, just west of the 605 Freeway, Hamilton said. She surrendered without further incident.

HACIENDA HEIGHTS - A high-speed police pursuit of a motorcycle carrying a man and woman ended in a crash on the 60 Freeway late Tuesday, officials said.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's Northeast Station began chasing the motorcycle, which had been reported stolen, about 9:45 p.m., LAPD Officer Rosario Herrera said.

The high-speed pursuit continued for about half an hour until it reached the eastbound 60 Freeway at 7th Avenue, officials said. The motorcycle rear-ended a car and tumbled end-over-end, throwing both riders into the roadway.

The riders, a man and woman, were reportedly in police custody as they were being treated at a hospital for serious injuries.
