Most Dangerous High-Speed Police Chases Caught on Dashcam — That Feel Like an Action Movie #10

Hey Adrenaline Junkies, welcome to Police Chase. Today we're kicking off a brand new series, People Messed With The Wrong Cops, where every dumb move instantly triggers Justice Mode. Alright, let's dive in. The trooper waited on the I-40 westbound ramp at mile marker 216 after dispatch reported a red SUV speeding toward his location. The vehicle soon appeared, flying past traffic at nearly 100 miles per hour. Lights and sirens were activated, but the SUV kept driving aggressively, even using the shoulder. Heavy traffic and road work limited the trooper's ability to close the gap. Hazen Police joined the pursuit, and Troop A ultimately ended it with a TVI near mile marker 152. The driver, Tago Caldero, was arrested on multiple felony charges and an ICE detainer. Troopers with the Ohio State Patrol stopped a reckless driver on southbound 171 in Warren County. During the stop, a 51-year-old female passenger signaled that she needed help. The driver, identified as Tomas Gorman of Florida, suddenly fled with the woman still inside, briefly dragging a trooper as he sped away. After a pursuit onto I-275, Gorman crashed near Winton Road and was arrested. The injured woman was reunited with family, and Gorman faces multiple felony charges. Idaho State Police released dash cam footage of a violent chase on April 9, 2015. Jose Manuel Sanchez briefly stopped, then rammed a Boise officer's cruiser, injuring him, before fleeing across the city onto I-84. In Elmore County, Sanchez lost control and crashed, ejecting himself from the truck. He ran, but was caught after a struggle, with bystanders helping troopers make the arrest. Racine, Wisconsin, Attorney William Sultan of Gingras, Thompson & Wachs Lawyers has filed a federal lawsuit against Racine County and Deputy Edward Druids, alleging excessive force used against DeAndre McCollum during an August 2018 encounter. The deputy's canine knocked him down, and when McCollum allegedly refused commands, he was tased. Authorities reported finding over 88 grams of marijuana, cash, and packaging materials inside his vehicle. The lawsuit now challenges the force used during McCollum's arrest. It began at Cleveland Hopkins Airport when 23-year-old Mel Scruggs stole a car and fled, triggering a reckless pursuit that quickly spread beyond Ohio and into neighboring states. As officers responded, a trooper entered a busy intersection on a green light. A red pickup crossed through traffic, its 65-year-old driver unaware of the approaching cruiser amid the noise and congestion. The collision overturned the truck. The driver was hospitalized and later died from his injuries. Scruggs was eventually stopped on Interstate 76 in Pennsylvania and now faces multiple felony charges across two states. Beloit, Wisconsin, On March 16, 2024, South Beloit officers stopped a car and identified passenger Ray Castro, 19, with outstanding felony warrants. Castro resisted arrest, fought officers, struggled violently, and urged the driver to flee. The chase ended in Beloit after several dangerous maneuvers. When Castro kept posing a severe threat, officers fired, fatally wounding him. On June 25, 2025, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper working with Homeland Security spotted a gray Toyota RAV4 in Miami-Dade County. The driver appeared unbelted and attempted to fasten his seatbelt upon noticing law enforcement. When officers tried to conduct a traffic stop near SR-836, the driver suddenly accelerated and fled, leading police onto SR-826. The pursuit continued at high speed as the suspect attempted to evade capture. Troopers executed a pit maneuver, causing the vehicle to collide with an RV into concrete barrier. The driver fled on foot but was captured by AI agents. He was identified as Nelson Jose Gomez Leon and later medically cleared at a local hospital. At 2.50pm on March 21, 2022, Officer Greg Ramirez in Albuquerque received an emergency alert. Suspect Josh Hall had hijacked a prisoner transport vehicle from a McKinley County deputy at the Route 66 Casino. Hall drove recklessly, swerving through traffic and nearly running off the road. Attempts to deploy spike strips on Canonito School Road were redirected due to the suspect's high speed and difficult terrain. The chase continued westbound onto Interstate 40, reaching speeds up to 105mph. New Mexico State Police Officer Joe Najara took the lead near exit 131. As Hall weaved dangerously between lanes and dodged spike strips, the risk to civilian traffic grew increasingly serious. The pursuit continued until the suspect reached New Mexico Highway 124, where a precise pit maneuver brought the vehicle to a stop. Josh Hall and the two inmates were taken into custody without further incident. The successful resolution of the chase highlighted not only the tactical skill and bravery of responding officers, but also the seamless coordination between multiple law enforcement agencies working together to protect the public. Dayton, Ohio On June 8, 2025, Dayton police officers observed a vehicle driving recklessly near Steve Whalen Boulevard and entering US 35. The vehicle matched the description of a stolen car flagged earlier by a flock safety camera. As officers tried to approach and confirm the license plate, the driver exited at Smithville Road, veered onto a grassy bank, and then re-entered US 35, this time going the wrong way into oncoming traffic. Officers activated lights and sirens, but the driver refused to stop. Given the extreme danger to the public, one officer performed a tactical vehicle intervention, ramming the suspect's car to bring it to a halt. The 25-year-old driver was arrested, taken to a hospital for evaluation, and later booked into Montgomery County Jail on a felony charge of failure to comply. A 26-year-old passenger was also arrested for outstanding warrants. While patrolling the highway, police spotted an unmarked motorcycle speeding at over 100 miles per hour in an apparent attempt to evade them. A pursuit followed, and the rider eventually crashed, sustaining injuries. He was transported to the emergency room for medical treatment. After identifying the rider, officers discovered he did not have a valid driver's license. Further checks revealed he had previous offenses related to similar traffic violations. Charges are expected to follow after his recovery. It was anything but a typical police chase. On Saturday, Smith shocked deputies when, mid-pursuit, he casually offered one of them a Kiel One vodka. The stunt didn't end there. He rammed two patrol cars and kept going, even as spike strips shredded his tires. Eventually his vehicle rolled to a halt, but instead of surrendering, Smith calmly stepped out, lit a cigarette, and stood unfazed. Officers quickly tased and arrested him. Even then, he showed no fear, no remorse, just an unsettling calm. Now facing multiple felony charges, his bond is set at $120,000. It looked like a Hollywood car chase, but this was real. On February 21st, 2024, in Escambia County, Florida, police and helicopters pursued a Wisconsin-plated Audi convertible in a wild, high-speed chase that left even veteran officers stunned. The driver blew through red lights, took sharp turns at over 100 miles per hour, and nearly caused several crashes. When he swerved into oncoming traffic on Molino Road, officers held back and relied on aerial tracking. With public safety in jeopardy, police executed a precision pit maneuver, flipping the Audi through the air like a stunt gone wrong. Miraculously, 24-year-old Patton Guat walked away unharmed, but his luck ended there. He was arrested at the scene, and now faces multiple charges, including reckless driving and fleeing police. A high-octane reminder, one reckless move can turn any road into a war zone. March 30th, 2022, on the EWI 55 in Arkansas, Trooper Blaine Middlecoff clocked a black sedan racing past at 90 miles per hour in a 75 zone, triggering an immediate response. When lights came on, the driver fled, blasting past 100 miles per hour and weaving between tractor trailers. Middlecoff stayed patient, knowing the highway would limit escape options. The chase ended at an exit ramp. Inside the car, troopers found a handgun, marijuana, and a digital scale. The driver admitted running because it was fun, a claim that quickly ended in jail. The white car tore down the highway at a blistering 105 miles per hour, blowing past traffic and signals like they didn't exist. Police stayed hot on its tail, undeterred by the driver's reckless swerves and hair-raising maneuvers, each one a gamble with lives on the line. It was a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but how long could this wild flight truly last? After a daring 90-degree turn at full speed, a second precision PT maneuver sent the vehicle slamming into a guardrail and crashing into a road sign. The pursuit ended in seconds as officers swiftly moved in, pinning the suspect and leaving no room for escape. Relentless, focused, and fearless, law enforcement sealed the chase with authority. On September 29th, 2023, Troop G Dispatch received multiple reports, four calls in total about a black motorcycle recklessly speeding westbound on Interstate 30. The rider was clocked at 78 miles per hour, dangerously exceeding the 65 miles per hour speed limit through a busy construction zone. Acting quickly, I activated my hazard lights and siren to signal the motorcyclist to stop. However, instead of complying, the rider continued westbound before making a sudden and hazardous turn onto an exit ramp, increasing the danger to both themselves and other motorists on the road. In the early hours of February 4th, 2023, at around 3.15am, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on routine patrol along I-75 encountered two pickup trucks parked near the northbound 279 mile marker. Two adult males were seen near the vehicles and appeared to be attempting to steal the second truck or items from within it. As the trooper approached, the suspects quickly fled northbound in their pickup truck, prompting a pursuit. During the high-speed chase, the suspects opened fire several times from their vehicle, with at least one round striking a nearby tanker truck, escalating the danger of the pursuit. On September 23rd, 2024, in Crawford County, Arkansas, state troopers confronted two Florida drug traffickers transporting large quantities of meth and fentanyl across state lines, setting the stage for a dangerous pursuit. Trooper Derek Near spotted Derek Scudder speeding on Highway 64. Knowing arrest meant prison, Scudder fled, driving recklessly until vehicle damage slowed him, then abandoning the SUV to run on foot before being caught. Meanwhile, accomplice Matthew Bunch led his own chase before crashing on I-40. Officers arrested both men and seized 240 pounds of meth and 2 kilograms of fentanyl, leading to multiple federal charges and $2 million bonds each. On December 7th, 2024, a white Corvette flagged as a stolen vehicle ignited a high-speed chase along Highway 40. Driver Christopher Ingera took off like a rocket, turning the pursuit into a gripping race against time filled with mounting tension. A skillfully executed pit maneuver caused the Corvette to spin out and come to a stop, but Ingera refused to exit after nearly 8 intense minutes. Officers managed to subdue him. Now facing multiple serious charges, Ingera was immediately booked into Kittenden County Jail. The question remains, how fierce will the legal battle ahead prove to be? Around 1.40pm on September 27th, 2025, Corporal T. Williams clocked a white Chevrolet racing past his traffic stop on Highway 167 at more than 90 miles per hour. He ended the stop and moved to intercept as the car continued accelerating. The driver fled, reaching more than 100 miles per hour before a TVI sent the car crashing off the road. Joseph D. Henderson resisted arrest and was taken into custody. Marijuana was recovered and he now faces multiple felony and traffic charges. October 14th, 2024, North Little Rock, Arkansas. At approximately 2.01am, while assisting the North Little Rock Police Department near the intersection of West Broadway and Main Street, officers were alerted to a Blue Dodge Challenger that had previously fled from authorities. The vehicle was soon located near Main Street and 5th Street. The suspect vehicle made a sharp turn westbound onto West Broadway, accelerating to speeds of approximately 85 miles per hour. As it approached the intersection of North Maple Street, the driver ignored a red light, continuing at high speed. As the vehicle neared the Broadway bridge, officers executed a precision petite maneuver, forcing the vehicle to spin counterclockwise and come to a stop at the intersection. The driver, later identified as Cav Polite, was swiftly apprehended without incident. He was taken into custody and turned over to the North Little Rock Police Department for further processing. On October 3rd, 2023, TMA responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man dangerously operating a four-wheeler ATV on eastbound Interstate 30. Officers quickly located the vehicle near Bishop Lindsay, where the suspect, later identified as Curtis Jackson, refused to stop and fled at high speed. Jackson swerved onto the I-40 ramp, reaching over 60 miles per hour and weaving recklessly through traffic, endangering other drivers. Officer Little joined the pursuit, attempting to block the ATV. As the chase neared a residential area, the ATV lost a rear wheel, but Jackson continued fleeing despite the damage, kicking up dust and maintaining high speed. At the three-mile mark, an officer executed a tactical maneuver, forcing the ATV to stop. Jackson was subdued with the help of Officers Little and Smith. He smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, and registered as 0.13VAC. He falsely identified himself as James Jackson, but fingerprints revealed his real identity as Curtis Jackson, born May 29th, 1963. The Polaris 700 ATV was towed, and Jackson was taken to Pulaski County Jail. He now faces charges including felony fleeing, DUI, speeding, driving with a suspended license and multiple other offenses. While patrolling on Highway 67 near County Road 53 in Miller County, Arkansas, State Trooper Tyler Gentry stopped a grey Chevrolet Cavalier for following too closely and displaying an expired license plate. The driver identified himself as Jerry Brexton, but a fingerprint scan confirmed he was actually Jerry W. Beard Jr., who was currently on parole. When ordered out of the vehicle, Beard immediately fled, initiating a high speed pursuit. During the chase, Beard drove recklessly, weaving between lanes and swerving toward other vehicles, creating significant danger for other motorists on the roadway. Multiple officers joined the pursuit, closely monitoring his erratic movements while coordinating efforts to bring the situation under control. Traffic conditions and public safety were continuously assessed to minimize risk during the pursuit. Law enforcement deployed spike strips and later executed a tactical vehicle intervention, forcing the Cavalier to a stop. Beard was quickly restrained without further incident and transported to the Miller County Jail. He now faces multiple charges, including felony fleeing from law enforcement and parole violation, with bonds set at $10,000. The swift and coordinated response ensured the safety of both officers and the public. On April 15, 2025, at about 1.30pm, Georgia State Patrol Crime Suppression Unit CSU officers were alerted that homicide suspect Antonio Watson was traveling in a 2010 gray Nissan Altima GA-TAG SJD-6502 near Memorial Drive and Candler Road, DeKalb County. The piety maneuver caused the vehicle to rotate and skid into a stationary car, bringing it to a stop. Troopers pinned the vehicle, and both occupants complied with commands and were taken into custody at gunpoint. During the arrest, the vehicle rolled backwards, striking the bystander vehicle again before being secured. Watson was confirmed as the homicide suspect, and passenger Byron Thomas had outstanding warrants for obstruction and fleeing. DeKalb County homicide detectives were contacted, instructing troopers not to disturb the vehicle, which was later impounded. Crash investigations were conducted for both the piety maneuver and the rollback during the arrest. On Friday, October 28th, 2022, the Wausau Police Department arrested six individuals following a retail theft and high-speed pursuit. The suspects had stolen screwdrivers and gloves from a Home Depot store and were involved in an armed carjacking. After attempting to steal another vehicle, they fled, triggering a high-speed chase with the police. The pursuit came to an end after officers used a tire deflation device to slow the vehicle, causing it to crash. Thankfully, the crash was minor and no one was injured during the incident. The suspects were taken into custody, marking the successful conclusion of a dangerous and fast-moving situation. On December 26th, 2021, a routine patrol in Escambia County, Florida took a dangerous turn when a black Jeep Grand Cherokee sped past a highway patrol officer. Behind the wheel was 18-year-old Charles Davis, who decided to flee instead of stopping. The chase began immediately, with Davis driving recklessly through neighborhoods, ignoring stop signs, and even swerving into the wrong lane. Despite his efforts, Davis couldn't shake the pursuing officer. He narrowly avoided a pit maneuver and was faced with a split-second decision- crash into another officer or veer off-road. Realizing he wouldn't outrun the police a second time, he finally came to a stop. The pursuit ended safely, but not without serious consequences. Police later discovered Davis had an active warrant in Alachua County for fleeing law enforcement. A search of his vehicle uncovered narcotics and several thousand dollars in cash. As a result, he was charged with reckless driving, fleeing, and possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
