MALTBY – Two Snohomish County sheriff’s patrol cars were damaged following a chase with a man driving a stolen car.
A deputy spotted a stolen Dodge Neon about 9:30 a.m. Sunday in south Everett. The deputy attempted to stop the car but the driver sped away, sheriff’s spokeswoman Jan Jorgensen said.
Other deputies joined in the pursuit. At one point the suspect rammed two patrol cars, Jorgensen said. No one was injured.
The man eventually lost control of the Neon and crashed into a wooded area near W. Bostian Road.
He ran from the car. A sheriff’s helicopter and dogs searched for the man but were unable to find him.

A fund has been set up for the family of a man killed at the Kimberly-Clark Corp. plant Friday. Donald Martin, 57, of Alger was doing routine work on a conveyor about noon when he was struck by a piece of moving equipment, mill manager Scott Helker said.
