It was on July 17, 2017 when police intercepted a white Ford truck as it was being stolen in Highland Green.
The truck fled police down a walking path in Riverside Meadows before appearing to be stuck on a median near the intersection of Taylor Drive and Kerry Wood Drive.
When police approached in a marked cruiser, the truck backed into the police car at a high rate of speed before speeding away northbound on Taylor Drive. An officer suffered minor injuries in the collision and was taken to hospital for treatment.
