The incident began around 7:15 a.m. when Santa Monica Police Department investigators attempted to take the driver of a black Range Rover, who was allegedly involved in a road rage incident a couple of weeks ago, into custody, according to police.
The driver exited the freeway into Koreatown and continued speeding through surface streets, at times crossing into opposing lanes and endangering morning commuters.

The pursuit ended in Montebello after the driver traveled into a center median and a trailing patrol vehicle rammed the SUV. Multiple officers surrounded the Range Rover and took the suspect into custody, according to the report.
Authorities have not identified the suspect or disclosed details about why he was being pursued.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
