A police pursuit in Georgia that went airborne when the suspect’s vehicle hit terrain features while attempting to flee a state trooper has generated footage that is remarkable even by the standards of the Georgian highway patrol’s well-documented pursuit history. The vehicle became briefly airborne over an embankment or elevation change in the roadway, creating a Dukes of Hazzard-esque visual sequence that has attracted enormous online attention. The landing was rough on both the vehicle and its occupants, and the pursuit came to an end relatively shortly after the aerial moment.
Georgia State Patrol has become one of the most watched law enforcement agencies in the social media era because of the frequency and intensity of police chases in the state, and footage like this adds another memorable chapter to an already extensive library of GSP pursuit videos. The quality of dashcam footage from modern patrol vehicles has made these incidents more visible and more shareable than was possible in previous years, creating both entertainment value and genuine documentation of events that inform law enforcement policy discussions.
