SUV thief hits seven police cars

SEATAC, Wash. – The King County Sheriff’s Office said a man stole an SUV from a family unloading luggage at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and then smashed into seven police cars while he was trying to get away at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

Investigators say a Cadillac Escalade was stolen at the airport just before 7, but the vehicle had an OnStar system, which allowed operators to track the SUV’s location.

Sheriff’s spokesman John Urquhart said one officer suffered a minor injury in the chase, which ended when the thief lost control of the SUV and it flipped. The vehicle rolled several times and caught fire, but the driver was not seriously injured.
