High-Speed Chase Ends in Crash at Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station 🚓

On June 19, 2025, in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers witnessed a white Kia run a red light on Sand Canyon Road. When officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver refused to pull over initiating a high-speed pursuit, reaching speeds of nearly 100 miles per hour through city streets. The chase came to a shocking end when the suspect crashed into a concrete barrier wall at the Santa Clarita County Sheriff’s Station. CHP officers and local deputies quickly responded to secure the scene and assess the aftermath of the crash. The suspect was removed from the Kia SUV, arrested, and taken to Henry Mayo Hospital for medical clearance. The driver refused a chemical blood test to determine what substance she was under the influence of, prompting CHP Officers to obtain a McNeely warrant signed by Judge Shannon Knight. This allowed a nurse to withdraw blood for chemical testing. After being medically cleared, the driver, Lexi Tennies, was transported to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Station Santa Clarita Office for booking for the following charges: 2800.2(A - Evasion - Wanton Disregard for Safety 23152(F) - Drive While Under The Combined Influence Of Drugs And Alcohol California Highway Patrol officers involved: Officer Rojas ID - 24413 Officer Penza ID - 21151 Officer Tome ID - 21447 Officer Banovitz ID - 21191 Officer Blanco ID 24472 Officer Bowen ID - 22182 Officer Kirby ID - 22404 Officer Carpio ID - 22940 Officer Lopez ID - 24373 Officer Laddaga ID - 24392 Officer Rodriguez ID - 21744 Sergeant Foltin ID - 20451 #police #policechase #losangeles #chp #california #cops #bodycam
