We’ve admittedly never seen a police chase with a Genesis G70, so this one out of Florida immediately caught our attention. After all, it’s interesting to see how the Korean luxury sedan matches up against the likes of the Florida Highway Patrol.
Stop Sticks lead to fatal crash during police chase.
In this instance, the trooper was traveling along when he spotted the Genesis going the opposite direction. What caught his eye was the tinted windshield. You might not think that’s a big deal, but it’s in violation of state law.
You can see in the dashcam footage after the trooper does a U-turn and got behind the G70 to perform a traffic stop, the suspect pulls over into a gas station parking lot. But he doesn’t slow down one bit. We guess he was just trying to tell if the trooper was attempting to pull him or someone else over.
Once it’s clear the Genesis is the quarry, the guy takes off. It clearly has the four-banger engine, not the V6, because it can’t really gap the trooper much.
But the chase isn’t all one-sided like some Genesis fanboys might expect. Superior driving skills play a factor in the trooper keeping up, like when the suspect goes off the road momentarily at a T intersection.
Despite the guy’s lack of skills, he still tries going through more tight turns to lose the trooper. We guess the Genesis fills him with overconfidence, which is a really bad thing.
At that point in the chase, the guy seems to realize he doesn’t have the muscle to outrun the FHP cruiser, so his only play is to keep going into neighborhoods and try outmaneuvering the trooper. He just doesn’t have the skills to do it.
That’s when the guy decides to really get dumb, cutting through heavy traffic, going the wrong way, and tempting fate. Thankfully, he doesn’t hit anyone, but the trooper knows he needs to end the chase before that happens.
Catching up to the suspect, who seems to think he’s going to pull another cool move, the trooper instead does a brutal PIT maneuver, spinning the Genesis out, ending the foolishness immediately. The kid who was driving looks shocked, so hopefully he learns his lesson and stops running from cops.
