Tesla Motors Inc. said it’s assisting Los Angeles police and fire officials investigating the theft of a Model S sedan by a man who yesterday led police on a high-speed chase before crashing the car in West Hollywood.

The carmaker led by Elon Musk “continues to cooperate” with authorities reviewing the matter, said Simon Sproule, a company spokesman, without elaborating. The vehicle split into two after hitting a light pole, according to KTLA-TV.
