A 14 Freeway pursuit suspect who reached over 100 miles per hour was taken into custody Thursday morning after crashing into a wall in the San Fernando Valley, officials said.

On Wednesday around 11:55 p.m., a grey Hyundai Santa Fe SUV was observed traveling at a high rate of speed on the southbound 14 Freeway at Via Princessa, said Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol Newhall Area Office.

“The CHP officer attempted to make an enforcement stop on the vehicle,” Greengard said.

However, the vehicle failed to stop and continued south on the 14 Freeway, and reached speeds exceeding 100 mph, according to Greengard.

“The speeding SUV transitioned to the southbound I-405 driving with no lights on in a further attempt to not be seen,” Greengard said.

The vehicle exited at the 405 Freeway at Sepulveda Boulevard and crashed into a concrete wall, according to Greengard.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were call to the scene due to the crash ending to check for injuries, according to officials on scene.

Christopher Watkins, from Los Angeles, was taken into custody a few minutes after midnight and charged with felony evading, Greengard said.
