L.A. Port police chase ends with suspect driving off San Pedro cliff

Like something out of a Hollywood movie script, a man fleeing police in San Pedro barreled his vehicle through a fence and over a seaside cliff to the rocks 300 feet below, authorities said Tuesday.

And if that wasn’t enough – he survived.

“I said it three times, ‘I don’t believe it,’” said Port of Los Angeles spokesman Phillip Sanfield, on recalling his reaction to learning of the incident. “Are you sure it’s a 300-foot cliff?”

The bizarre, dramatic chase Monday night was borne out of the routine – a minor traffic accident in Wilmington at Pacific Coast Highway and Alameda Street about 11 p.
