The chase began a little after 6:45 p.m. near the I-5 and I-605 Freeway interchange, according to CHP officials. Officers say that they received a call from family to report the kidnapping, and the chase started a short time later.
California Highway Patrol officers arrested an alleged kidnapping suspect after a lengthy and extremely slow-speed pursuit through Orange County on Saturday evening. It's unclear if a possible victim was inside of the car as well.Police say that the driver ran over a spike strip at some point, which caused two of the front tires to go flat. Despite this, the car did not stop and instead continued to drive along the freeway.
As the suspect crawled along the freeway, hundreds of cars got caught up in the traffic that continued to build up behind the chase, creating a massive traffic nightmare on the 405.Several onlookers could be seen watching the chase as it drove underneath an overpass near Springdale Street and Westminster Avenue. At around 8:30 p.m., the driver finally came to a stop near the Springdale Street ramp.
