A dramatic police pursuit in Southern California came to an end after a SWAT Bearcat slammed into a semi-truck during a tense chase across the Los Angeles area.

Authorities said the chase began when the driver of the semi refused to pull over, leading officers on a prolonged pursuit through city streets and highways. The situation escalated when the massive truck posed increasing danger to other motorists.

The pursuit ended when a SWAT Bearcat, assisted by multiple police vehicles, boxed in the semi-truck and forced it to a stop. The driver was then taken into custody without further incident.

No major injuries were reported, though the collision left visible damage to both the SWAT vehicle and the semi-truck. Authorities are investigating what sparked the chase and whether the driver will face additional charges.

The incident is the latest in a string of high-profile police pursuits in Southern California, where law enforcement agencies regularly contend with suspects leading dangerous chases through heavily populated areas.
