Oregon man driving stolen car crashes into woman driving another stolen car

A police chase in Oregon ended when a driver fleeing authorities in a stolen car crashed into a woman driving another stolen car.

The debacle took place Monday when police responded to a report of a stolen Toyota Land Cruiser driving through downtown Newberg, according to the Newberg-Dundee police.

A pursuit ensued, and lasted for several blocks until the driver crashed into another car near an intersection.

Cops identified the driver of the first car as Randy Lee Cooper of Portland.

After taking Cooper into custody, the police realized that the second car was also reported stolen in an unrelated crime three weeks ago.

The driver of that car, Kristin Nicole Begue, was also found to be under the influence.

Cooper was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, attempting to elude police, assault and reckless driving.
