    Try to run. So this this is going to be dangerous as he's going across streets and he's just not wanting to stop. So the 405 is going to be shut down for a moment. People need to be aware of that. Looks like CHP officers, LAPD officers have gotten to him and gotten it under control. There will take him into custody. But for the commuters, be aware near Roscoe, the 405 is going to be a mess until they can get that vehicle off the road because he turned around and drove into oncoming traffic and basically into the officers what a remarkable ending right now bruce yeah a very safe ending i might add yeah first i didn't see it going to be a safe one okay so now let's let's try to let everybody know this is it looks as if we're saying that's near nord off But you can see the airbags deployed on the vehicle because they ran right into the SUV It is going to be on the southbound side of the freeway But it was a northbound accident as the suspect turned around and drove straight into the vehicle And Bruce, not that the CHP was intentionally trying to hit that vehicle, but driving into oncoming traffic, you have to say, better to run into one of those vehicles with the guard on the front than it would be for running into an unsuspecting motorist. but we're lucky that an officer wasn't hurt with the pace that that guy ran into somebody head on.
