Caught on camera: Police car narrowly misses kids after chase ends in crash

STOWE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A group of children were nearly struck Sunday when a police chase ended in a crash in a Pennsylvania town, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

The scary incident happened around noon in Stowe Township.

Officers were chasing a reportedly stolen vehicle when a van hit one of the cruisers.

The collision sent the cruiser spinning out of control, nearly hitting a group of children on the sidewalk. The cruiser slammed into a parked minivan nearby. The moment the children were almost struck was caught on camera. 

“I’m still shaken up, because you see that in the movies, not in real life, you know? So, it was kind of scary, but everyone seemed fine besides the officer. I’m sure he went to the hospital, but very scary,” Candice Sabo said.

The officer involved suffered minor injuries. 

The driver of the stolen vehicle escaped.
