KOMO-TV STAFF

A suspect rammed two police cars with a dark '90s-vintage Cadillac while fleeing the scene of a car prowl early Saturday in Lake City, officers said.

Police had responded at the scene, in the 12300 block of 33rd Ave. NE, at about 4:30 a.m. after receiving a report of a car prowl in progress.

As officers were arriving in the area, they spotted the dark-colored Cadillac DeVille four-door leaving the immediate area.

An officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver rammed the the patrol car and refused to stop.

Several other patrol cars were in the area and the Cadillac struck a second one as it fled down Lake City Way NE onto Interstate 5 southbound.

The damage to the patrol cars was minor and none of the officers were injured.

Officers followed the suspect vehicle until it got onto I-5, when officers backed off to prevent a dangerous situation from escalating.

Police said they have enough information on the suspect to continue following up the investigation.
