OKLAHOMA CITY -
A metro man ended a pursuit on Tuesday night from Oklahoma City police by ramming his van into a busy hospital entrance. The crash sent Integris Baptist staff running for safety and police straight to 37-year-old Gary Williams.
The suspect crashed into the hospital’s main entrance near Independence Avenue and the Northwest Expressway. Hospital management said no one was injured but the entrance is closed to guests and staff until the damage is repaired.
Police said the pursuit started after Williams allegedly hit a car earlier in the evening near Northwest 45th and Classen Boulevard and drove away.
