One of 30 or so cop cars involved in the chase
Rockland Sheriff’s patrol officers were greeted with a surprise chase this morning as a man decided to hit the gas at a routine road block.
A winding chase led officers from New Hempstead Rd. to the Palisades Parkway, all the way to downtown West Nyack.
The man eluded police for about 15 minutes before ending up on the dead-end back streets of West Nyack. His car crashed at Louise Dr. in West Nyack, damaging two parked vehicles before careening into a large evergreen tree.
