[Updated 6:46 a.m.]   A Los Angeles Police Department pursuit of a stolen luxury car ended in a horrific crash early this morning in Pasadena which authorities say left two suspects in critical condition and a major avenue closed for the morning commute.

Police advise commuters to avoid Allen Avenue between Orange Grove Boulevard and Mountain Street, saying law enforcement personnel remain at the scene.

Los Angeles Police Sgt. Melvin Gamble told City News Service the incident began about 2:30 a.m. in the 4500 block of Willow Brook Avenue in East Hollywood when the suspects stole the 2015 BMW and the owner’s wallet and smart phone at gunpoint.

The victim was not injured, according to KNBC-TV.

The car’s owner used a computer to track his smartphone inside the stolen BMW and notified police of the car’s location. An LAPD helicopter found the car and the pursuit was initiated, Gamble told City News Service.

Ultimately the fleeing driver lost control of the car and it slammed into a tree on Allen Avenue near Paloma Street about 3 a.m.

Arriving Pasadena Fire Department crews found the car’s smoking wreckage mangled from the impact into a palm tree. The passenger had been removed from the car by Pasadena police, authorities said, and firefighters had to extricate the driver.

City News Service quoted Gamble as saying that one was in critical condition and the other suspect sustained life-threatening injuries.

Both suspects were transported to a local hospital. Both will be arrested and charged as soon as their conditions permit, authorities said.
