A father who led cops on a wild high speed chase was seen kissing his infant baby and partner goodbye before surrendering to the police.

He eventually had nowhere left to go after getting stuck at a dead end on Shedd Terrace and Wrightcrest Drive in Culver City.
The driver, his partner and their young baby exited the vehicle once he came to a stop.
The man was seen embracing his family multiple times before falling to his knees and turning himself over to police.
