Two Injured In I-5 Police Chase

by The Editors on August 21, 2007

When a man driving a Saab tried to elude police on a high speed chase down I-5 by exiting the freeway at Cannon road, he ended up slamming into the back of a Mercedes-Benz, which collided with a truck in front of it.

The Mercedes was pushed into the back of a truck which briefly caught fire. At least two other vehicles also collided after the chain-reaction crash, the CHP said.

The woman driving the Mercedes was taken to the hospital and the two children in the back seat were uninjured. The man driving the Saab was reported unhappy about his arrest:

He was shot with a Taser gun and was taken by helicopter to the hospital.

Every time a Saab driver gets Tasered we smile a little.
