PALOS VERDES (CBS) — A teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District under investigation for lewd acts with a child has been taken to the hospital following a police chase that ended with the suspect’s truck flying off Crenshaw Boulevard and crashing near a Palos Verdes office building.
Fire crews had to extricate the driver from the vehicle, which came to rest on a hillside at Crenshaw Boulevard and North Indian Peak. After being trapped in his truck for about an hour, firefighters were able to cut the suspect out of his truck and took him in an ambulance to a hospital.
The suspect, who police say was a teacher under investigation for a lewd act with a minor, was stopped in by Bell police in Lakewood. The suspect told officers he wanted to kill himself and took off, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
