Officials say the suspect's SUV was stopped for a brake light being out, and the patrol vehicle was behind the suspect's vehicle. A backup police vehicle was coming off of Knickerbocker Rd., traveling west.
The suspect's vehicle did not stop, police say. The suspect then struck the backup police car head-on, causing it to spin around. The initial police vehicle behind the suspect's car then crashed head-on, officials say.
The officers were then involved in a foot pursuit, running through a fence, and a yard on the street. The suspect was eventually apprehended.

It is unclear why the suspect didn't stop.
