Los Angeles has been the scene of two high-speed police pursuits recently. Authorities chased an allegedly stolen vehicle through South LA and the San Gabriel Valley. One of these chases ended in a head-on crash, and another incident resulted in the temporary shutdown of northbound lanes on the 405 Freeway in Sherman Oaks due to a police investigation. A motorist was injured in a possible shooting on the 405 Freeway, leading to hospitalization and the closure of all northbound lanes in Van Nuys as the California Highway Patrol conducted their investigation. The northbound lanes were reopened seven hours later. Road rage is being considered as a possible factor in the shooting that left the driver critically wounded.
