Like A Wrecking Ball: Felon Fleeing Police Sends Jeep Literally Flying

We’re not quite sure what this 19-year-old felon driving a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee had in mind for a plan when he got cornered by Georgia State Patrol. Instead, it looks like he was just trying to do as much damage as possible to the boosted SUV before getting arrested, and he did a lot.

Criminals are selling Turo rental cars to unsuspecting victims.

In the wild dashcam footage we’ve shared, he literally sent it so hard while tearing through a neighborhood the Jeep caught serious air, landing in the parking lot of a Family Dollar. He came in like a wrecking ball.

Immediately, troopers were on him, pitting the Grand Cherokee as the kid was trying to still get away. He had no plan, but he was determined to sow chaos and destruction.

The end result is he was pitted so hard, the Jeep went flying out of the parking lot, hitting a power pole, knocking down electrical lines. What’s crazy is in the aftermath all the cops seem to give the live lines little notice.

But they get their man in the end.

It’s not every day you see a police chase which looks like something out of a big budget Hollywood movie. Even dumb criminals understand sending a vehicle this hard is a dumb idea.

How exactly the Grand Cherokee didn’t blow its suspension or just split in half after doing that Dukes of Hazzard jump is beyond us. Although we wouldn’t be surprised to learn it sustained frame damage.

Either way, the Jeep was most definitely totaled. Some insurance companies will even total a vehicle that’s been stolen, even if it’s not been in a crash. Perhaps that’s why troopers had zero reservations about trashing the SUV, or maybe they just wanted to stop the wrecking ball before it put a hole in the side of a building.
