LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A chase suspect led California Highway Patrol officers from Sherman Oaks to the U.S.-Mexico border Monday afternoon and then crossed into Mexico, officials said.

The chase began in the San Fernando Valley around 11:15 a.m. and traversed all the way to San Diego County. Officials said the driver was having a mental health crisis and took the minivan. The suspect's mother contacted CHP and provided that information.

The driver - believed to be a woman - remained mostly on the southbound 405 Freeway, passing through Orange County before eventually transitioning onto the southbound 5 Freeway. The driver then got on the south 805 Freeway and made it to the U.S.-Mexico border crossing.

The CHP called off the chase after the driver crossed into Mexico just before 1:30 p.
