DUI Suspect Flees Police On Tattered Tire

LOS ANGELES A woman suspected of drunken driving led police on pursuit from Highland Park to Arlington Heights Saturday, a lieutenant said.

The pursuit started on the northbound Harbor (110) Freeway in the Highland Park area at approximately 2:30 a.m., said Los Angeles police Lt. Joseph Satow.

The driver exited the freeway, then got back on and headed south, according to a camera crew with RMG News.

The pursuit continued to the westbound Santa Monica (10) Freeway, when the vehicle exited at Arlington Avenue, with the car limping along on a shredded front tire.

A pursuing officer used his patrol car to nudge the vehicle into a spin, and the suspect was arrested, police told RMG News.

The woman's name was unavailable pending booking.
