Summary
On May 5th, Jason Vega triggered chaos on the 210 freeway in Sylmar after cops pursued him for outstanding warrants. Instead of fleeing off the highway, he ran across traffic lanes and attempted to steal a car—forcing a full freeway shutdown. Officers ordered him to drop his weapon, which he refused, leading to shots fired and a less-lethal round before he was taken into custody. The LAPD is still investigating the incident, which turned deadly amid a routine pursuit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
