Car's raised hood complicates East Oak Cliff getaway
A robbery suspect gave a whole new meaning to driving blind Friday evening. According to Dallas police, a woman had pulled over her overheating car about 6:20 p.m. at Elisha Pease Elementary School in the 2900 block of Cummings Street, near East Ledbetter Drive and Bonnie View Road.
The car's hood was up, and the woman was going into the school to ask for help when a man approached her. He threatened to harm the woman, then drove away in her car � with the hood still up.
A police officer who was in the area saw the car and pursued it. The man hit two vehicles before crashing into a tree. He fled on foot before he was captured. No one was seriously injured in the incident.
DOH!
