At around 6 p.m. on Friday, RCPD officers responded to calls of a woman stealing a tow truck from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Redwood City. A short time later, an RCPD officer located the tow truck parked at a Jack in the Box in San Carlos, police said.
While attempting to conduct a traffic stop on the tow truck, Kettle proceeded to ram both the officer’s cars, causing “major damage,” RCPD said. The officer who was rammed was injured and later taken to a local hospital, police said.
The tow truck then fled southward towards Highway 101, traveling 80-90 miles an hour, police said. The California Highway Patrol and the Menlo Park Police Department responded to requests to take over the pursuit, police said.
