Six people were injured, two of them seriously, when a police pursuit ended in a five-car crash Monday evening in Glendora, authorities said.
At about 5:45 p.m., officers with the Azusa Police Department were pursuing an Acura Integra that had been reported stolen, said Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol’s Baldwin Park office.
The car was headed south on Barranca Avenue in unincorporated Glendora when it crossed the center median and struck a Toyota Camry in the intersection of Barranca Avenue and Arrow Highway, Jimenez said.
The collision caused a “chain reaction,” striking three more cars in the intersection, Jimenez said. The crash ejected the driver of the stolen car, who was not wearing a seatbelt, he said. The driver and the sole passenger in the car suffered major injuries and were taken to a hospital.
