Police search for suspect after stolen car crashes in northwest Indiana
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police in northwest Indiana were looking for a suspect who stole a car and led troopers on a high-speed chase early Thursday.
Lake County Sheriff's police said they spotted a Hyundai Elantra with a broken window in Gary shortly after 2 a.m.
The car matched the description of a stolen vehicle, and when an officer tried to pull the driver over, he sped off.
Eventually, the driver ran a red light in nearby Highland, smashed into another vehicle, then knocked over a utility pole, causing power lines to fall down.
Somehow, during all the chaos, the driver was able to run away.
Despite using a K-9 and a helicopter, police weren't able to find the driver.
