About 1:45 p.m., officers spotted a stolen white Mercedes near the intersection of Vanowen Street and Corbin Avenue in Winnetka, prompting a pursuit.
Almost half of the people injured or killed during police chases in Los Angeles since 2018 were bystanders, according to LAPD data released last year.
According to findings presented to the Board of Police Commissioners, LAPD officers have been involved in at least 4,203 pursuits since 2018; roughly a quarter resulted in a collision.
Under LAPD policy, officers are allowed to initiate a pursuit in response to a suspected felony or for certain misdemeanors such as reckless or drunk driving.
