Fleeing Suspect Wrecks Himself Out

Usually when we cover a suspect fleeing at high speeds, but suddenly goes spinning off the road, it’s because police do a brutal PIT maneuver. But this police chase out of Clayton County, Georgia involves no such thing. Instead, our suspect wrecks himself out, which is clearly visible in two sets of dashcam footage.

Watch a fleeing BMW PIT itself out.

What we don’t see is the guy in his Chevy Malibu allegedly ran a roadblock, then got chased down by multiple members of the elite Clayton County Sheriff’s Office Blackhawk Unit. These guys specialize in highs-speed, aggressive chases, so when our suspect takes off after stopping and feigning compliance, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

But this guy sure tries to lose the deputy at the lead of the pursuit. Instead of just sticking to main roads and relying on the raw acceleration and speed from his Malibu, which would’ve been such a stupid move, this guy decides to dive into parking lots, weave through stopped traffic, and do other things to outmaneuver his pursuers.

The problem is his Chevy isn’t exactly a sports car and he lacks the skills these deputies have. As a result, the lead pursuit unit sticks on him like glue. A smart person would’ve just given up, realizing running is futile.

But this guy gets onto a road with a long straightaway and tries ramming the deputy after a botched PIT maneuver failed to take him out. It’s kind of like the mouse attacking the cat, only a little more pathetic.

His aggressive moves come back to bite him, because it’s during one of those he loses control of the Chevy, gets it sideways at speed, and ends up smacking into the trees on the side of the road. It’s almost like the deputy did some sort of PIT maneuver from a distance.

It’s always a win to see a suspect like this just take himself out, all thanks to overconfidence in his driving skills.
