PLYMOUTH - Police are seeking an arrest warrant for a woman who allegedly hit several vehicles including three crusiers, nearly struck an officer with her car and then led police on a high-speed chase into Bristol with one tire flat Tuesday afternoon.
The white Kia Sportage the woman was driving may have also struck a pedestrian in Hartford where the vehicle was found later in the day, police said.
The chain of events involving the female driver started at around 12:37 p.m. when a caller reported to police that the Kia Sportage just sideswiped another car, and both vehicles left the scene, police said.
A separate caller reported that the same Kia Sportage was at the Patco Convenience Store at 131 Main St. in Terryville, attempting to inflate a flat tire, police said.
An officer approached the woman attempting to inflate the tire, but she refused to stand up, reports said. He finally grabbed her, but she pulled away and got into the car which had damage from an accident, police said. As the officer reached in to grab her shirt, she put the vehicle into reverse, causing him to get out of the way to avoid being struck, police said. She then backed into his cruiser and a concrete barrier several times until she was able to flee, police said.
As she took off, she struck a second cruiser, drove on the sidewalk and struck the front door of the business, police said. She struck a third cruiser on Route 6 and then engaged police in a high-speed chase into Bristol with one tire flat, police said.
Officers broke off the chase in Bristol because it was becoming too dangerous, police said.
The incident may be connected to a domestic violence episode that occurred minutes before in Terryville, police said.
