Stolen Semi Rams Police Cars In Wild Chase Injuring Four Officers
A stolen semitruck led police on a dangerous chase through south Everett early Thursday, leaving four officers with minor injuries.
At about 6:21 a.m., an employee reported that his semitruck had been stolen from a Safeway at 1715 Broadway.
Snohomish County deputies quickly spotted the truck as it entered southbound Interstate 5. It later exited at the 112th Park and Ride and continued into the Silver Lake area.
Deputies attempted to stop the truck near Silver Lake Road and 118th Place Southeast, but the driver began ramming patrol cars while trying to escape.
An Everett officer who was in the area on an unrelated call was struck by the semitruck while seated inside his vehicle.
Multiple Everett officers responded as the stolen truck continued fleeing and struck additional patrol cars.
The truck eventually came to rest in the 1100 block of A. Sater Road, where the driver was taken into custody.
Four Everett police officers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The suspect, a man in his 30s, remains in custody.
