Georgia police chase ends with stolen ambulance crashing into ditch
Two people are facing charges after running from police, with one of them stealing an ambulance and leading officers on a pursuit. The Rincon Police Department said they got a call for help from the Effingham County Sheriff's Office with investigating a two-car crash. When officers got to the scene, two suspects ran in different directions. One of the suspects ran toward McCall Road. When officers got to that area, someone flagged them down near the Davis Tire store and told them that the suspect had hopped in an ambulance and took off. Police eventually caught up to the ambulance, and the suspect rammed his car into one of the officers' cruisers, leaving him with minor injuries.
