Thurston County officers worked together to stop a DUI hit-and-run suspect after they tried to escape.
The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said Lacey police were sent to a hit-and-run crash at Pacific and Carpenter on Saturday. It was reported that a green Toyota Tacoma had hit another car and was stalled out in a lane.
The Sheriff’s Office said the truck started using the shoulder on I-5 and Lacey police stopped following but had probable cause for hit-and-run and eluding. The chase continued south on I-5 when Tumwater police and the Washington State Patrol joined. The Sheriff’s Office said law enforcement did a PIT maneuver and the truck sped toward police going northbound in the southbound lanes. The truck swerved to the side before colliding with a patrol car and officers did another PIT maneuver, finally stopping the truck.
