A possible DUI driver was taken into custody after leading authorities on a half-hour chase from the Westlake area to the San Fernando Valley on Thursday night.

NewsChopper4 was above the pursuit that ended in Encino just after 11:30 p.m.

Los Angeles Police Department units were behind the black BMW before transitioning into tracking mode following dangerous maneuvers, such as running red lights and nearly running over a pedestrian near MacArthur Park.

The driver then got on the 101 Freeway near the Rampart on-ramp, prompting the California Highway Patrol to take over the pursuit. On the freeway, the car was seen zig-zagging at high speeds of almost 100 miles per hour at times.

Shortly after several CHP units joined the pursuit on Balboa Avenue, the driver pulled over near Heartland Street and was taken into custody.
