A driver who was fleeing police in a reportedly stolen vehicle was killed after crashing into a home in South Pasadena Friday.

South Pasadena police initially received an alert from a license plate reader about a stolen Dodge Charger. Police found the car, but the suspect refused to pull over, leading officers on a pursuit.

Shortly before 5 a.m., police cancelled the chase after the man continued driving erratically. Less than a minute later, he crashed into a home in the 300 block of Orange Grove Avenue.

Video from the scene showed the vehicle had flipped over before slamming into the homeowner’s garage. • A driver who was fleeing police in a stolen vehicle was killed after crashing into a home in South Pasadena on Sept. 19, 2025. (KTLA) • A driver who was fleeing police in a stole
