"When I arrived on scene, the owner of the car was on the roof of the car holding on and attempting to jump inside the car to stop it," he wrote. "Before I left police were asking supervision to lay down a spike strip to deflate the tires to slow the vehicle down to gain control of it."

According to CBS Los Angeles no one was hurt during the incident as police arrived on the scene and were eventually able to get the car under control using the spike strip.

The driver was unsure of what caused the car to go out of control, but he believed it to be a mechanical error.
