A 16-year-old boy was injured Monday when he crashed a suspected stolen car after leading officers on a high-speed chase beginning in El Segundo.
An officer saw the teen get out of the Chevrolet Impala rental car in front of a construction site on Washington Street and Maple Avenue about 1:45 a.m., said Sgt. Jeff Leyman of the El Segundo Police Department.
Suspecting a burglary was unfolding, the officer stopped. But the boy got back in the car and sped off, and the officer pursued him.
The chase led through residential neighborhoods to Imperial Highway, where the boy drove west at a high rate of speed, Leyman said.
He lost control of the car as he attempted to turn north on Vista del Mar in nearby Playa del Rey, and the car rolled.
