into new jersey. and the deptford mall it made a tour of the parking lot. residential neighborhoods, and believe it or not, back to the walt whitman and into philadelphia through old city the historic district center city and back south on 95. that's when the police tried, and almost succeeded, in boxing him in. and it seemed that he was surrounded but he made a nifty escape even at 30 miles per hour. it was near the airport where the ordeal finally came to an end. a state trooper flipped the van giving other police a chance to converge on the suspect. he was arrested without incident. and live with the van still there is sharrie williams. >> jim, you are right. that nifty escape didn't last long as it did come to a conclusion right here. we are live on the scene where this white dodge appeared to be

a work van. it's still here. it flipped and uprighted itself. there's glass on the ground. you see the windshield is damaged and broken out as the driver flipped. when the police approached him they say he didn't have much to say describing him as confused and disoriented. he was transported to the hospital and after the long chase the drive treated for medical injuries. the police say the driver of the white van wanted for robbery, allegedly using a shotgun in the crime and an officer spotted the van that matched a description and gave chase. >> and traveling over the walt whitman bridge this evening around 7:30. while in bartram the vehicle struck a highway patrol car. >> that is not the last police cruiser to be struck. and he later hit this cruiser outside of the navy yard in philadelphia. >> and jumping on interstate 95
