Photos and videos from Pepperdine Graphic:

A car chase that started in the valley ended in Malibu prompting the closure of PCH on a busy afternoon.

The chase started about 1:55 p.m. at Ventura Boulevard and DeSoto Avenue, LAPD said. The driver of a work truck hauling a trailer allegedly hit several cars along Ventura Boulevard and ran a red light. They chased this fool over the canyon and onto PCH.

Shortly before 2:30 p.m., the driver stopped again along PCH and Carbon Canyon Road, and at least six LAPD units were waiting behind.






PCH was shut down from Sweetwater Mesa to Carbon Canyon after the driver stopped.

At 3:10 p.m., officers went up to the driver’s side of the vehicle with their guns drawn and forcibly removed the shirtless man from the truck.
