WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. --
Four police cars wrecked after a Monday night chase on interstates 70 and 79 through Washington County.
Police said Ronald Hudock, 61, of St. Clairsville, Ohio, fired several shots at a trucker, then at a restaurant, and police had to stop him.
Police said it all started around 11:20 p.m. Hudock was driving his white Porsche on I-70 when he fired several shots at a passing tractor-trailer truck, they said. Police said Hudock eventually told them he fired the shots because the truck's headlights were bothering him.
Police said he got off the Chestnut Street exit in Washington and went through the drive-through lanes at a Mcdonald's restaurant, where he fired some shots at a restaurant sign.
Hudock got back on the interstate and a chase began, with speeds reaching 80 mph at one point, according to police.
Hudock got onto I-79, where he eventually crashed into four state troopers' cars near the Laboratory exit, police said.
"Went through the drive through, had a disagreement with one of the employees there, grew dissatisfied with the service he was getting, fired at the sign," said Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Thomas Schuster. "Proceeded to get back on the interstate to where one of our cars spotted him. Finally did catch up with him, activated their lights and sirens. He sped up to approximately 80 mph, went through an active construction zone and started going south on I-79."
A Taser was used on Hudock to bring him under control and take him into custody, police said.
Hudock is charged with a number of crimes, including aggravated assault.
