The Tuesday chase ended with the bus rear-ending a silver sedan, requiring paramedics at the scene to treat the smaller car’s driver, KABC-TV reported. The chase took police on two different freeways and reached speeds as high as 80 miles per hour, the report added.

The incident follows a pattern of vehicle thefts in the state. According to the Insurance Information Institute, three of the top 10 U.S. metropolitan statistical areas with the largest vehicle theft rates in 2020 were in California, with the top two overall cities on the list, Bakersfield and Yuba City, both in the state.

Authorities believe the bus was stolen from San Diego County, according to KABC. Video footage showed that the bus appeared to be from Top Dog Limo Bus, a San Diego company. According to KUSI-TV, an unnamed company had rented the bus to go on a company trip. When the bus driver arrived at the pick-up location, he exited the vehicle to let the clients know he had arrived. Upon returning to where he had parked the bus, the individuals found that the bus was gone.

The bus owner had a GPS tracker on the vehicle, allowing the police to find it quickly, KUSI added.

The California Highway Patrol took over the chase when the bus entered Los Angeles County, KTTV reported. At one point in the chase, police tried to throw spike strips, but it appeared that the bus managed to avoid them.

Video from the crash scene showed the long black bus speeding down a roadway near Antelope Valley and crashing into the back of the silver sedan while narrowly avoiding hitting a second car. After this, the bus stopped and police caught up to it. A person, who appeared to be female, was then seen exiting the vehicle with her hands up, walking backward until an officer handcuffed her and took her into custody. It appeared that she was the only person aboard the bus. That individual’s identity has not been disclosed.

According to the Insurance Information Institute’s report, California had the most motor vehicle thefts in 2020. Data from the California Highway Patrol said more than 180,000 vehicles were stolen that year, a 19.6 percent increase from the year before. The estimated value of all the stolen vehicles totaled about $1.6 billion.

Out of the thousands of vehicle thefts that year, more than half took place in Southern California, with 42.2 percent specifically in Los Angeles County, the highway patrol added.

Top Dog Limo Bus did not immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment.
