El Monte, CA (October 24, 2025) – A police pursuit in El Monte ended in a violent multi-vehicle collision late Friday evening, October 24, resulting in one reported injury and significant property damage. According to the El Monte Police Department, the chase began just after 10 p.m. and continued for approximately 20 minutes before the suspect vehicle crashed into two other cars near the intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and East Garvey Avenue.

Responding officers and emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene to find three vehicles with extensive damage, including one that had overturned onto its side. Paramedics evaluated several individuals for injuries, and one person sustained minor injuries but declined further medical treatment at the scene.

The damaged vehicles were later towed from the intersection, and the area was temporarily closed as officers documented evidence and cleared the debris.

Pursuit-Related Crashes in Los Angeles County

Police pursuits often present significant risks to both officers and members of the public, particularly in densely populated areas such as Los Angeles County. According to data from the California Highway Patrol, pursuit-related crashes account for hundreds of injuries statewide each year, often resulting from excessive speeds and unpredictable driving behaviors by fleeing suspects.

These incidents can lead to severe property damage and injury to bystanders who have no connection to the pursuit itself. Law enforcement agencies continue to refine pursuit policies and employ alternative methods, such as tracking technology, to reduce the likelihood of high-speed chases ending in collisions.
