In a memorable event that gripped the nation, football legend O.J. Simpson led police on a low-speed chase through Los Angeles in a white Ford Bronco, watched live by over 100 million viewers.
Despite his storied career, Simpson will forever be associated with this infamous moment, which unfolded during his trial for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
The pursuit, broadcasted for two hours, saw Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings driving along Interstate Highway 5, with police in pursuit. Despite the attention, Simpson eventually surrendered to authorities, though the trial would continue to fascinate the nation for months.
Following his acquittal, Simpson’s notoriety persisted, and the Bronco he used in the chase became a symbol of the trial’s spectacle. Despite attempts to sell the vehicle, it eventually found its home in a crime museum alongside other infamous automobiles.
