Suspect Still At Large after Newhall Accident on 9th Street and Walnut Street
NEWHALL, CA (May 18, 2022) – Tuesday night, a pursuit that ended in a crash on 9th Street and Walnut Street led to injuries.
The pursuit ended just before 6:00 p.m. on 9th Street and Walnut Street. According to reports, the incident involved at least four vehicles. Also, one of the passengers required hospitalization.
Initial reports said that the incident began at approximately 5:45 p.m.
“We staged for sheriff’s (deputies) after what looked like the end of a pursuit,” said LA County Fire Department Dispatcher Valderan.
Sheriff’s deputies pursued a four-door Kia after it was suspected that the vehicle was a stolen car. Then, the vehicle crashed with three other vehicles on Walnut Street. However, the suspect described as a Hispanic male wearing a Dallas Cowboys football jersey fled on foot.
Then, the authorities established a containment. However, it was later canceled after deputies identified the suspect.
Meanwhile, responders took the other occupant of the vehicle to the hospital. Aside from the Kia, one GMC pickup truck had been struck and two other sedans were hit.
At this time, the suspect remained at large.
Due to the limited information available, the authorities continue to investigate the crash.
It is important to always abide by all traffic laws and to do your part to prevent devastating consequences to you and others. Thus, if you find yourself unable to safely operate a vehicle, there are always other options for transportation.
