Gun pulled from truck police chased that crashed into pole

Only Channel 11 saw the gun pulled from a truck that police chased in Mt. Oliver before it crashed into a pole, knocking out power to several families.

"I heard, like it was a big bomb," said Ezradoris Rogers, who saw the truck smash into a mailbox after taking down a power pole and snapping another pole in half.

Mt. Oliver police were trying to pull the truck over for a traffic violation when it didn't stop and they started chasing it.

Channel 11 cameras caught investigators uncovering a gun in the back seat and the chief said a large amount of crack cocaine and scales were inside too.

Neighbors told Channel 11 there were two men in the gray car that got hit by the truck and don't live in the neighborhood. The whole scene had those neighbors unnerved.

"I ran up the street cause my daughter and grandkids just left the house," Linda Morgan said. "It was scary. I just thank God no one got hurt."

Some families were without power as crews worked to clean up the mess.
