Worth a shot- anyone remember a prison escape with a car chase from late 80s/early 90s?

When I was a kid- late 80s/early 90s, I was hanging out at my friend's house on George St on the West Side of town.

A car full of men came flying through hitting a bunch of cars parked. The police took our statement which made me late for home- probably would have been summertime and was at dusk since I needed to be home by dark.

My parents grounded me for being late. I told them what happened. They didn't believe me, but on the new at 10pm they saw there had been a police chase after some men who escaped from a prison or jail. Does anyone remember this? Writing a short story about this and was hoping to find more details.

Thanks in advance if anyone remembers!
