Stolen car driver sparks chain-reaction crash involving 2 Philadelphia police vehicles

Shay Jewels watched an unmarked Philadelphia police vehicle burst into flames just feet away from her house.

"It was crazy because I was really going to park there," she recalled.

It happened on 9th Street and West Erie Avenue in Hunting Park after 11 p.m. on Friday.

"We heard a big crash and a boom, and we ran out the house," said Jewels.

Police said officers followed a stolen Nissan Altima to that location, where it caused a Chevy Equinox to crash into the police car, and then the police car hit a pole and caught on fire.

Police said one officer was taken to the hospital with facial fractures and lacerations. The officer was later released.
