A 27-year-old woman stole this black Hyundai sedan at a gas station in Delray Beach and led police on a chase that ended on State Road A1A in Briny Breezes, according to Gulf Stream Police Chief Richard Jones. As Delray Beach police officers followed the driver northbound on A1A, Jones and other Gulf Stream officers moved to intercept her. The driver appeared to try to run over Jones after he had deployed stop sticks on A1A at the Gulf Stream Golf Course. The chase ended in Briny Breezes when two Gulf Stream officers, including Sgt. Michael Balak (center), used a Precision Immobilization Technique — called a PIT maneuver — to bump the car and force it off the road and to a stop. The driver was taken to the hospital. Delray Beach police were handling the report on the incident. Jerry Lower/The Coastal Star
