Aerial images captured at 7:36 a.m. showed the driver weaving through traffic on the southbound lanes of the 101 Freeway in Hollywood. The driver eventually exited the freeway near New Hampshire Avenue.

At 7:47 a.m., the driver reached speeds as fast as 120 miles per hour on the eastbound lanes of the 10 Freeway, erratically switching lanes to avoid other drivers.

It's not yet clear how many occupants are in the vehicle or if the driver is armed. It's unclear when the pursuit began, but the Santa Monica Police Department was the initial agency handling the case, according to the CHP. 

The CHP began its pursuit in the San Fernando Valley.

No additional details were immediately made available.
