First up is this story from San Jose about a crazy guy, an ambulance, a carjacking, and a stolen police car. Apparently this one guy was picked up for psychiatric care (it's unknown at the time for what) when on the way to the hospital, he tried to take control of the ambulance. When the driver fought him off and stopped the ambulance to call the police, he escaped. While running he saw a couple trying to fix a flat tire in a parking lot and despite his being on the lam, actually stopped to help them fix it. Which he did, but when the cops showed up, he hopped into the car and drove off. A block later, he got out of the car, got into a fight with one of the pursuing cops, and managed to get into the cop's car and ride off on that, with the cop still hanging onto the door of the car. The guy drove around in circles, again with the cop still hanging on, before being apprehended. He is being charged with auto theft, attempted auto theft, attempting to take a police officer's handgun and carjacking a police car.

Next up is something that happened on HWY 4 by Pittsburg. Apparently, the CHP tried to pull over a driver for being DUI. The car, which turned out to be stolen, stopped but the driver wouldn't let the cops in. So the cops tried to break into the car, causing the driver to get out and run. The driver ran back-and-forth between the westbound lanes of traffic and the center median before he was struck and killed by another driver. That driver then sped off, turning the accident into a hit-and-run.
