New video shows stolen ambulance chase
La'Darius Williams allegedly led a multi-jurisdictional police chase using a stolen ambulance on April 17. Atlanta police have release new footage that shows the lengths law enforcement went to catch him.
Police say Williams can be seen in the video disobeying traffic laws, hitting a civilian, mailboxes, law enforcement vehicles, driving on property, and taking the stolen ambulance across jurisdictions. They tried deploying stop sticks multiple times to deflate the tires.
Toward the end of the chase along Tara Boulevard, dash cam video shows the moment Georgia State Patrol troopers used the PIT maneuver, sending the ambulance swerving, across a grassy median and into a utility pole where Williams tried his luck on foot.
