A man was arrested after allegedly stealing a U-Haul truck, crashing several times and leading police on chases through Bucks County on Tuesday, according to the Bensalem Township Police Department<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This all started around 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 30 when officials with the Bristol Township Police Department called officers in Bensalem to tell them that a stolen U-Haul truck drove onto Interstate 95 after crashing into a car.<\/p>\n

Police identified the man driving the stolen U-Haul as Ryan Laskowski, 38, of Levittown, and issued a warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

Laskowski then returned to the neighborhood in the U-Haul several times throughout the day on Tuesday and crashed into other cars as well as a Pennsylvania State Police vehicle. <\/p>\n

Troopers with the Pennsylvania State Police began to chase Laskowski in the U-Haul which led to him crashing into a Bensalem Police Department car, a fence and a fire hydrant outside of the ACME grocery store on Bristol Road, officials said. <\/p>\n

Then, around 3:30 p.m., Laskowski crashed into anther car near the intersection of Bristol Road and Grandview Avenue, police said. <\/p>\n

Officers took Laskowski to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries where he is being held as a prisoner. <\/p>\n
