PONTIAC, Mich. – A fight at a Pontiac gas station Sunday night led to a police chase after a woman allegedly tried to hit another woman with her car.
Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office were called to the Marathon Gas Station in the 500 block of N. Perry Street just after 11 p.m. about a fight.

Another deputy in a marked vehicle with its lights and siren also activated then crossed into Collins’ lane but she allegedly crashed into the front of the vehicle and kept driving.
Authorities said Collins was driving erratically as she fled toward the Charles Lane Apartments. Deputies blocked the entrance with their vehicles, but Collins allegedly drove over the grass to get into the parking lot.
