Los Angeles police chase: Police chasing driver in minivan from San Fernando Valley to San Diego County, California
Authorities are chasing a driver in a reportedly stolen Toyota minivan that's been underway for more than an hour in southern California.
The pursuit began in the San Fernando Valley Monday morning and traversed all the way to San Diego County.
The driver - believed to be a woman - remained mostly on the southbound 405 Freeway, passing through Orange County before eventually transitioning onto the southbound 5 Freeway.
Authorities attempted to deploy at least four spike strips during the chase, but they were not successful as the driver managed to swerve around them.
