HAPPY VALLEY, Oregon -- A suspect trying to escape police didn't go very far after he managed to get run over by his own car.



Officers tell KOIN they responded to reports of a man stealing items from parked cars.



When they found him, he sped off, leading police on a high-speed chase.



It ended when he bailed out of the car and got pinned under the same vehicle he had just jumped out of.



The 31-year-old suspect broke his leg.



After being treated at the hospital, he was booked on reckless driving and theft charges.
