A man and his son walked away from a head-on collision after a suspected car thief pursued by officers in California caused a head-on collision with the vehicle they were riding in.
Aerial surveillance shows a white Acura being chased by officers with the Los Angeles Police Department along a two-lane highway at high rates of speed. The driver of the Acura then misses a curve in Chatsworth and violently slams head-on into a sedan.
Police arrive at the scene and draw their weapons as they approach the suspect’s vehicle. The door of the other car opens, and a man hurries out, followed by a young boy. The two quickly move away from the dangerous situation.
The video goes on to show police officers pull the suspect from the car, and handcuff him on the ground.
The family was treated and released from an area hospital, according to CNN. The suspect was also taken to the hospital for treatment, but his condition is unknown.
