San Diego Sheriff's deputies are joined by San Diego Police in a chase of a stolen SUV. The SUV was found by its On-Star tracking device. The SUV strikes an uninvolved vehicle and then crashes and then when trying to back up an officer shoots out the back tires. Somehow it never dawned upon the officers to wait for the SUV to park. 2 cars are wrecked because the officers were impatient. Luckily no one was hurt by the two crashes or the two gunshots.
