15-Year-Old Girl Leads Police On Crazy Chase Through L.A. Park

Los Angeles, CA - A 15-year-old was put in handcuffs Thursday afternoon after speeding through a South Los Angeles park, tearing up grass and striking signposts, during a police pursuit that ended with a crash. The erratic chase wound through surface streets as the driver of a silver Nissan Altima blew through red lights, wove in and out of traffic, drove the wrong direction on several streets and sped by a group of schoolchildren.LA County sheriff's deputies confirmed to NBC4 the driver was a 15-year-old girl. The teen drove at high speeds through South LA, barely avoiding head-on crashes with at least one other car and nearly striking a semi-truck. She then drove off the road and onto the grass of the Earvin Magic Johnson Recreation Area, a park surrounded by several elementary and high schools.
