Truck mount involved in high speed chase

A woman in her 20s was the subject of a cross city police car chase in Seattle Washington on Tuesday night.

The woman stole an Altec utility bucket truck in which the operator had left the keys. A sheriff's deputy spotted the truck heading north from the city towards Shoreline on and gave chase. She then turned and head back into Seattle, now with several police cars in pursuit.

Eventually she turned into the car park of a shopping centre and crashed into a utility pole. The police say that when they approached the cab she was laughing. She was taken to hospital with a few cuts and scrapes to her face.
