Author: auto.pub | Published on: 29.08.2025

In Los Angeles, a police pursuit took an unusual turn Friday night when the driver of a stolen Infiniti, fleeing at speeds of up to 100 mph, was forced to make a pit stop for gas. After refueling, the suspect jumped back behind the wheel and continued the high-speed getaway with a full tank.

Police alternated between closing in and holding back during the chase, but the pursuit ended when the suspect abandoned the car beneath an overpass. The vehicle rolled quietly into a post, while the driver vanished without a trace. Whether he was picked up by an accomplice or simply hijacked another car remains unclear.
