On June 17, 1994, television networks and cable news channels aired non-stop coverage of perhaps the most famous car chase to have ever taken place on LA freeways—O.J. Simpson in a white Ford Bronco. As California Highway Patrol and the LAPD tailed the Bronco, onlookers cheered and waved from overpasses and ramps during the chase—some even pulled over and got out of their vehicles to wave from the roadside. The chase began after Simpson was charged with killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Simpson's friend and former Buffalo Bills teammate, Al Cowlings, drove the Bronco as Simpson hid in the rear, taking the chase that played out mostly on the 405 Freeway into the history books. The chase ended at Simpson's Brentwood mansion. He stayed inside the Bronco for another hour before being coaxed out by LAPD's Special Weapons and Tactics team. He was then transported by police motorcade to Parker Center for booking and transported to Men's Central Jail. Cowlings was booked on suspicion of harboring a fugitive.
