Charleston Police say an officer in nearby Goose Creek spotted the stolen SUV minutes after it was taken around 10 a.m. Sunday and started chasing it. Police say the driver didn't stop for several miles until running over spiked sticks placed in the road by Charleston officers.

Authorities say no one was injured, and the driver was taken into custody. The driver's name or any possible charges have not been released.

At the same time, Riverview Fire and Rescue crews were dealing with an emergency of their own.  One of their fire trucks slid down an icy decline, smashing into a Northeast fire truck.  The unintended crash caused some damage but no one was hurt.  

Officials tell FOX 2 that the cause of the fire is still under investigation. As for the smashed trucks, those are still operable.

Zuzga says in his report for Tuesday’s Quincy Village Council meeting that the final price was over $666,000. He went to say, “I am working with local financial institutions to finalize a financing package and will present to the Township to approve this month. We need to pay the full amount by March 1 to ensure we receive a $21,743 advance payment discount.”  

The purchase of the fire truck has led to some strained feelings on the Quincy Fire Association Board after Pierce Manufacturing made the only bid at over $712,000.

The 2016 Ford F-450 fire truck, owned by the Boone County Fire Protection District, was traveling north on Missouri 763 toward U.S. 63 when the driver lost control on a patch of ice, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The truck slid off the roadway, overturned and struck a tree at approximately 12:55 a.m.   

The driver, Kyle Voeller, 19, was reportedly uninjured. Spalding, 19, sustained minor injuries.
