NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities in Tennessee say a man stole an ambulance and led police on car chase during which he crashed into a patrol car.
News outlets report the man has since been taken into custody. Authorities didn’t immediately release his identity or say what charges, if any, have been filed against him.
