LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities say a motorcyclist fleeing the California Highway Patrol at high speed struck and killed a pedestrian in downtown Los Angeles.
The pursuit began just before midnight Thursday in suburban Whittier when the motorcyclist allegedly ran a red light and refused to stop.
The chase went along sections of three freeways before the motorcyclist exited in downtown LA.
The victim was struck in a crosswalk and died at the scene.
CHP Sgt. Raquel Stage says the motorcyclist was hospitalized with critical injuries, and charges are pending.
