A woman led police from several departments on a multicity chase late Tuesday night that ended with a rammed police cruiser in Hingham.
Authorities said a cellphone caller alerted them that a woman, later identified as Cherylann Kelley of Weymouth, was acting bizarrely in the Mobile Mart Gas Station parking lot on King Street in Cohasset at 9:30 p.m., WCVB reported. The caller told police she approached his vehicle, opened the door and threw a bottle at him. As police officers arrived at the gas station, Kelley allegedly fled from the parking lot at a high speed in a 2008 Hyundai sedan, WCVB added.

At the corner of Washington Street and McGrath Highway in Quincy, Kelley reportedly rammed a Hingham police cruiser, giving officers an opportunity to pull her from her car and take her into custody, CBS added.
