    LOS ANGELES — Almost half of the people injured or killed during police chases in Los Angeles since 2018 were bystanders, according to new LAPD data.

    The findings, presented Tuesday to the Board of Police Commissioners, found that LAPD officers have been involved in at least 4,203 pursuits since 2018; roughly a quarter (1,032) resulted in a collision that caused injuries or death.

    Nearly half of these injury crashes hurt people who weren’t involved in the chase — with 496 injured and nine killed. By comparison, 462 fleeing suspects were injured in that span, with five dying, according to the report.

    Sixty officers were injured during chases; none have died.
