Arleta (myFOXla.com) - A police pursuit that began in Carson and traveled north to the San Fernando Valley, ended peacefully late this morning after the driver's car was cornered on an Arleta street, authorities said.

The pursuit began at 8:45 a.m. when California Highway Patrol officers attempted to stop the unidentified male driver on the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway at Carson Street for an unknown traffic violation, said Lt. Omar Wilson of the CHP.

Reaching speeds of up to 90 mph, the pursuit continued north, then eastbound on the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, and south on Golden State (5) Freeway before the motorist exited on Roscoe Boulevard in Sun Valley, Wilson said.

The chase ended about 9:40 a.m. on Jouett Street near Van Nuys Boulevard in Arleta when CHP officers forced the driver onto the driveway of a home and boxed his car in, Wilson said. CHP officers then forced him out of his car, handcuffed him on the ground and arrested him.

Police did not know if the driver had been heading for the home, Wilson said. There was no information on what the driver would be booked on or where he was being held, Wilson said.

Authorities have yet released the driver's name or city of origin.
