SEATTLE — The Washington State Patrol (WSP) says a man walking across I-5 near Northgate allegedly pushed a trooper down and stole her patrol car on Thursday afternoon.
At around 12 p.m., a WSP Lieutenant contacted the man who was walking across the northbound lanes of I-5, WSP said.
He allegedly then pushed her down, stole her patrol car, and drove away, WSP Trooper Rick Johnson posted on X.
The man led authorities on a pursuit along I-5 before a trooper conducted a PIT maneuver and stopped the car near Lynnwood.
