4:34 am
>> serious damage. serious damage to life and property. >> reporter: the chase came to an end moments later. watch as a white car tried to get out of the way. >> oh, no! oh, my goodness. >> reporter: it got hit and spun around. the rv came to a stop and the woman got out and made a run for it with the remaining dog following. but she didn't get far as the chp officer caught up to her and took her down bringing an end to this wild and extremely dangerous chase. ama daetz, abc 7 news. >> so scary to see that. we're all gasping here as we're watching that story. the suspect and the drivers of the cars hit were taken to the hospital. we know the man in the white car has some broken ribs and a punctured lung. no word on the other driver in the black car. meanwhile, the dog found at the end of the chase was taken to ah seen jumpingut of the window was later found as well. >> that was something else. >> the woman caught in a muni
