While deputies attempted to stop the truck near Silver Lake Road and 116th PL SE, the semi driver began ramming patrol cars, attempting to vade capture. According to the police department:

An Everett officer was in the area on an unrelated call for service when his vehicle was struck by the semi truck while he was seated inside of it.

As additional law enforcement officers responded to the scene, the driver of the stolen semi continued crashing into patrol cruisers trying to escape.
