We’ve often noted how people in junky, underpowered cars look foolish trying to flee police. Running is a bad idea regardless, but apparently if you’re going to do it in a 30-year-old Ford Taurus, you might occasionally surprise everyone, as this driver did by getting away.
An aging beater slipping past a trooper is a rare and unexpected result. Whatever combination of luck and circumstance made it possible, the escape remains an exception to the rule that fleeing police usually ends in capture.
