According to witnesses, the chase began when a red Chevrolet ice cream truck, driven by an unidentified male, was seen swerving erratically through traffic on North Division Street. When police attempted to pull the truck over, the driver accelerated and fled. The chase ensued for several miles, with the ice cream truck reaching speeds of over 60 mph. Police pursued with lights and sirens, but the suspect refused to stop. Witnesses reported seeing the truck running red lights and weaving dangerously between cars. One witness said, “It was like something out of a movie. The ice cream was flying out the back of the truck as it sped down the highway.” Eventually, the chase came to an end when the ice cream truck crashed into a parked car near the intersection of Sprague Avenue and Greene Street. The suspect driver was taken into custody without incident. Police have not released any details about the suspect’s motive or what may have prompted the chase. However, a search of the ice cream truck revealed several empty ice cream containers, suggesting that the driver may have been intoxicated. The incident caused a brief traffic slowdown in the area, but there were no injuries reported. One officer was overheard saying, “We’ve dealt with a lot of strange car chases over the years, but this one takes the cake.” The ice cream truck was impounded, and the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
