A stolen Mercedes-Benz G-Class caught on fire and an officer from the Los Angeles Police Department crashed during a pursuit through LA County Wednesday night. 

The chase started after police spotted the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, commonly known as a G-Wagon, in Pico-Union. The suspect continued to drive away from police and led the pursuit into Pasadena. 

During the chase, an LAPD officer veered off the road and crashed into a building near the intersection of Hill Avenue and Walnut Street. The suspect continued to drive away from police for roughly a mile before crashing into another vehicle at the intersection of Sierra Madre Boulevard and East Foothill Boulevard.
