An Oral History of the O.J. Simpson Bronco Chase

Thirty years ago, O.J. Simpson’s slow-speed chase in a white Ford Bronco captivated the world. On June 17, 1994, instead of turning himself in to the LAPD for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Simpson fled, leading to a dramatic pursuit that was broadcast live and watched by nearly 100 million viewers. Driven by Simpson’s former teammate Al Cowlings, the Bronco’s route crisscrossed Los Angeles before reaching Simpson’s home in Brentwood. Those who witnessed the chase, whether in person or on television, share unforgettable stories. Simpson died in April, but the legacy of that chase lives on. The Bronco now resides in a museum, forever etched in the annals of American criminal history.
