The End of the Chase

As a car equipped with a dashcam approaches an intersection, the fleeing vehicle approaches in the oncoming lane. The suspect behind the wheel tries to pass a car traveling in the same direction by veering into the middle of the road. However, they end up colliding with both a curb and the rear tire of the car they were trying to avoid.
The impact launches the suspect’s vehicle into the air, glancing off the dashcam vehicle before landing upside down. The police are just yards away from the accident. The video reveals how the driver managed to escape.

The 35-year-old man remains in jail, while the 41-year-old woman has been released on bail with a court date set for December 19th.
