    This story is confusing. If the suspect got in an accident at the corner of King and Plains, and fled to the Shell station to grab the old gal’s car, how long would all of that take? Four minutes? The cops got on his tail incredibly fast. Did he disable the cop car with the stolen car, but his car was still operational? Crazy?
