A suspected car thief crashed into a family of four Thursday evening in Seattle, leaving all of them in serious condition.

The car’s owner told police he was warming up his car near Rainier Avenue South and South Othello Street when a man jumped in his car.

The car owner had a gun but the thief had already taken it from his car.

After the suspect took off in the stolen car, he collided with another car, ejecting a 7-year old, and severely injuring a 5-year-old and a teen. All four were transported to Harborview Medical Center.
