Sheriff’s deputies attempted to pull over the box truck on the southbound I-5 freeway just north of Lake Hughes Road at approximately 9:30 a.m., according to Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s officials.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s deputies pursued the vehicle from Lake Hughes Road until about the Newhall Pass, at which point California Highway Patrol took over the pursuit, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s officials.

The vehicle reached a max speed of about 80 mph, traveling through San Fernando, Pacoima, Sun Valley and Burbank, finally crashing into a freeway barrier in Boyle Heights, according to California Highway Patrol Sgt. Paul Reyes.

The driver fled the vehicle and proceeded on foot into a residential neighborhood where he was eventually apprehended by California Highway Patrol.
