A 50-mile pursuit of a stolen dump truck had officers dodging bricks hurled from its window and even the truck itself when it suddenly went into reverse. Police cruiser video shows the truck striking police cars and several civilian vehicles during Saturday's chase through parts of three northeast Ohio counties. It took 50 miles for the police to put a stop to the chase, probably because of the unstoppable nature of the target, and the seeming fearlessness of the driver. The alleged driver also may not fit the mold of your typical truck thief. The Beacon Journal reports that authorities have charged a 17-year-old suspect with multiple juvenile court charges including felonious assault with a weapon - namely, the truck. The pursuit began after the truck was reported stolen in Stow, about 25 miles southeast of Cleveland. The dash-cam video shows police having to dodge various flying objects, including bricks and a tarp, that were periodically thrown from the truck's window. One of the cruisers was totaled and two others were damaged. Two officers were treated for injuries related to the chase. Two other juveniles were allegedly in the truck at the time, but bailed out mid-chase after the first couple of crashes with police cruisers. They were apprehended by police but have not been charged. It's possible that the alleged driver could be charged as an adult because of the seriousness of the charges. more: http://www.ohio.com/news/top_stories/111452864.html

I was at the light at 1:40 I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was like an episode out of cops. That kid could have easily killed a lot of people with that thing.

I know the kid that stole it. I went to school with him in Stow, and I know the whole story. He found the truck in a backyard, keys still inside. He was hammered, and thought it'd be a good idea to go for a joy ride. The 2 kids that jump out at the intersection were his current girlfriend, and a buddy of his. The kid was always pretty odd...

I give the officer at 2:00 a lot of credit. He risked himself and his cruiser to protect the civilian drivers. We need more cops like him.
