BROOKINGS, Ore. — Officers in southwest Oregon say a teenager who stole a taxi at knifepoint tried to get away from a deputy by heading into the country, but ran right into a landslide.
KVAL-TV reports the theft happened Saturday afternoon.
A deputy saw the taxi van on U.S. 101 and tried to pull the driver over.
The driver turned onto Meyers Creek road, which turned out to be closed because the landslide covered it.
