A 40-year-old man led police on a chase at speeds up to 60 MPH and wound up in a four-car crash that injured a grandmother and three granddaughters<\/a>, but officers finally caught up to him, according to The Oregonian.<\/p>\n

On August 7, 2010, around 5 PM, a police officer was flagged down about a van driving erratically in the area of SE 130th Avenue and Foster Road in Portland, Oregon. The officer spotted the out-of-control driver and tried to stop the vehicle near 134th Avenue.<\/p>\n

One of the girls was Delaney Bean, 14, who is starting her freshman year in high school in a few short weeks, and will now have to start school using a walker. Bean suffered a cracked pelvis, broken nose, three fractured ribs, and a punctured lung.<\/p>\n
