A driver was killed in a high-speed chase that began here early Saturday when his car hit a curb, went out of control and soared 100 feet through the air before rolling over and slamming into trees at the Carson Avenue exit to the 605 Freeway, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The driver's name was not immediately known, CHP public affairs officer Bruce Mulligan said.
The chase began about 4:49 a.m. on the northbound San Diego Freeway in Garden Grove near the merger with the Garden Grove Freeway, where two CHP officers were parked for a routine traffic stop, Mulligan said.
