A reckless pursuit driver leading police on a dangerous chase plowed through a park fence as people nearby jumped out of the way Wednesday afternoon.

The chase began in the South Gate area after 5 p.m. on streets before the driver, with a woman inside the car, continued on the 710 Freeway and then the 91 Freeway.

At one point, the driver appeared to be cornered on a dirt road cul de sac. But then he turned right and drove into a park, pushing through a chain-link fence gate before continuing onto streets. He avoided hitting several parkgoers.
