Pickup truck slams into fire hydrant, parked cars after chase with LASD deputies ends in Palmdale

PALMDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- A police chase ended in a dramatic crash and SWAT standoff in a Palmdale neighborhood on Thursday night.

A man in a white pickup truck was fleeing from Los Angeles Sheriff's Department deputies when he lost control at Avenue R and 35th Street E.

The truck jumped the curb, snapping off a fire hydrant and slamming into two vehicles parked in a homeowner's driveway. Video from the scene shows water shooting into the air from the damaged fire hydrant.

The hydrant was eventually shut off, revealing more of the damage. It appears that one of the cars that was hit ended up slamming into the home's garage door.

It's believed the driver of the pickup truck, who was wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, was possibly still inside the truck and refusing to come out.
