Oregon Car Thieves Crash into One Another

A police chase through Newberg, Oregon, ended abruptly on Monday when one car thief collided with another.

Randy Lee Cooper and Kristin Nicole Begue became victims of comic irony when the Toyota Land Cruiser that Cooper had allegedly stolen hit Begue’s vehicle during his flight from the Newberg-Dundee police.

Authorities descended on the scene to arrest Cooper and discovered that the other car involved in the collision, a Buick Regal, had also been reported stolen three weeks prior. In addition to the stolen vehicle, Begue was also found to be driving under the influence.
