Suspects lead police on wild chase through LA while carjacking multiple vehicles, including big rig

A pair of suspects led police on a wild chase through Los Angeles Sunday night as they carjacked multiple vehicles – including a big rig – on live TV before escaping. 

The bizarre chase began with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tailing the suspects inside a dark-colored pickup truck believed to have been stolen. 

At some point, the pickup truck came to a stop and the suspects tried, and failed, to break into two different cars before carjacking a white big rig and taking off on Interstate 5.

The suspects ditched the big rig near downtown Los Angeles around 11:30 p.m. and carjacked a white pickup truck before taking off to the Boyle Heights neighborhood. 

The Los Angeles Police Department reported that the driver of the stolen pickup truck was at one point driving the wrong way on Interstate 10. The LAPD said the suspects should be considered "armed and dangerous." 

The chase spanned the areas of Sylmar, Santa Clarita, North Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Echo Park, downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and Boyle Heights, per reporting from FOX 11

After about an hour, the suspects appear to have fled on foot. As of early Monday, no arrests had been made. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and California Highway Patrol for comment.

Two blind women say they became only passengers on Southwest flight after airline 'forgot about' them

Two blind women from Florida recently discovered they were the only passengers aboard their Southwest Airlines flight from New Orleans to Orlando, saying the company needs to improve how it communicates with passengers who have disabilities.

Sherri Brun and Camille Tate were traveling together on Southwest Flight 2637, scheduled to depart New Orleans on July 14. Following a nearly five-hour delay, the two friends finally boarded their flight, only to discover they were the only two people on the plane, FOX 35 reported.

TERRIFIED PASSENGERS 'FLEW OUT OF THEIR SEATS' DURING DRAMATIC SOUTHWEST NOSEDIVE TO AVOID MID-AIR CRASH

"You’re the only two people on this flight because they forgot about you," Brun said the two women were told.

Brun and Tate said they had waited by their assigned gate, checking Southwest's app for updates. However, unbeknownst to them, nearly all the other passengers had been rebooked on a separate Southwest flight to Orlando that departed earlier from a nearby gate, FOX 35 reported.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, airlines must provide prompt and effective communication for passengers with visual impairments, especially during delays or rebookings and boarding changes a federal law under the Air Carrier Access Act.

Brun and Tate said that requirement was far from met. "Nobody said a word to us about another flight," Brun said. "We were just waiting at the gate, checking the app, like everyone else."

"There needs to be some improvement in how they communicate with their passengers, especially those that have disabilities," Tate said.

"We have seen inaccurate accounts that suggest we ‘forgot’ the two customers, or that we sent a plane back to get them," a Southwest spokesperson told Fox News Digital in an email. "Neither of these is the case. … The Customers were scheduled on Flight 2637. Although it ran almost five hours late that day, it remained their same flight number throughout."

"We apologize for the inconvenience," Southwest told Fox News Digital. "Southwest is always looking for ways to improve our customers’ travel experiences, and we’re active in the airline industry in sharing best practices about how to best accommodate Passengers with disabilities."
