Oklahoma: Driver went through road block, hit 2 police cars

A driver went through a road block and struck two police cars Tuesday afternoon, according to Leflore County Sheriff Rob Seale. Deputies arrested Phillip Clifton after the chase, said Seale.

Police say they received false reports from Clifton that his girlfriend had been murdered. When they tried to stop the man's vehicle, they say he led them on a high-speed chase on Highway 112 in Oklahoma. The man went through a road block near Camera, and that is where he hit two police cars.

Clifton then got out of the car and tried to run away, said Seale.

Deputies were able to contact Clifton's girlfriend, and determined she was safe.
