A routine speeding violation, 71 mph in a 55 mph zone, set off a lengthy pursuit of a Nissan Altima by Georgia State Patrol. The chase ended dramatically after the car’s tires were spiked and a trooper PITted it into a tree.
What began as a minor infraction spiraled into a high-stakes pursuit. It’s another example of how a small violation can escalate when a driver chooses to run.
