Cruiser crashes into repair shop

An unattended Philadelphia police car appeared to have a mind of its own when it rolled backward and crashed into a Northeast auto repair shop on Sunday.

According to a department spokeswoman, an 8th district officer had exited the car on the 2300 block of Welsh Road at about 2:30 a.m. to chase an aggravated assault suspect on foot. The car ended up in reverse and struck the Goodyear shop. The officer was not injured.
