<p>LAS VEGAS &#8212; Authorities say a woman stole a paramedic truck in Las Vegas and led pursuing officers on a 50-mile freeway chase that reached California.</p><p>Media outlets reported that Clark County firefighters had parked the truck outside a pharmacy Friday when the truck was stolen. The woman, whose identity wasn&#8217;t released, ended the chase on Interstate 15 inside California, apparently realizing officers were going to use tire-puncturing spike strips to stop the vehicle.</p><p>Nevada officers had used spike strips that deflated at least two tires but didn&#8217;t stop the truck.</p><p>Las Vegas police, Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and a police helicopter all tailed the ambulance during the chase. California troopers joined the pursuit at the state line.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em>&#8212; The Associated Press</em></p><style>
