HOLMEN, Wis. — A man robbed a BP gas station in this north LaCrosse suburb and led police on a chase south toward LaCrosse. The fleeing driver almost hit several cars, prompting police to abandon the chase for safety reasons at the County Road OT intersection into State Highway 35. The gas station attendant was hurt, but police said the injury was minor. No weapon was believed involved, police said. The get-away car was located at the Goose Island campground south of LaCrosse, halfway to Stoddard. The campground has 400 campsites, a golf course, several dozen family homes, and the WKTY array of radio towers. The driver fled on foot into Mississippi backwaters, police said.
Hold-up. At 402 Holmen Drive North. Attendant injured.
