BOSTON OFFICER DRAGGED BY TRUCK

Three people, including a Boston Police officer, were rushed to hospitals earlier Monday following a chase in Jamaica Plain. A yellow station wagon was struck at the intersection of Centre Street and Creighton in Jamaica Plain. An alleged car thief was driving a stolen late-model pickup truck. The truck then smashed into the brick and glass entryway of a local pizza parlor. When one officer approached the truck, the suspect took off. The officer got somehow caught up in the rear view mirror. The suspect allegedly swerved the truck side to side as he fled, trying to get the officer to fall off. When the officer fell off, witnesses said that the truck raced down the street. Chuck Snekvick said the truck narrowly missed.
