Police arrested 75-year-old Ira Loudenbach after he led them on a chase in which he crashed into nine different cars, four of them police patrol cars.

Ira Loudenback crashed into a total of nine cars before coming to a stop.

Police said he was "defiant, angry and cursing" when he was removed from his car and they Tasered him in the process.

Loudenback was arrested for felony eluding, aggravated assault, reckless driving and several counts of hit and run.

Amazingly there were no reports of injuries in the accident.

Here's the chain of events that occurred during his eight-minute rampage:

- Motorcycle cop spots Loudenback traveling 59 mph in a 35 zone.

- Heading north on Highway 95, Loudenback takes a left turn at Hanley during a red light.

- Loudenback pulls into a church parking lot and begins doing donuts as the motorcycle cop and a patrol car attempt to approach the driver.

- Loudenback speeds at the patrol car, crashes into it and proceeds to head south on Ramsey.

In so doing he crosses into northbound traffic on Hanley and hits five civilian vehicles; some witnesses said he appeared to deliberately veer in their direction.

- Police set up a barricade where Loudenback proceeds to smash into four more patrol cars before coming to a stop at the intersection of Kathleen and Ramsey.
