Related: About this forumJudicial Drug Task Force & Arkansas State Police HIGH SPEED PURSUIT of Federal Fugitive - 113MPH PIT
?si=wt3azNU8esV6fC4JDude just casually drives up to the chase at 140mph, assumes lead, and PITS the suspect with no change in vocal tone. Trooper Evans is a GOAT.
The ASP don't play! "I'm third vehicle." 14 seconds later: "Ok, I'm primary." 10 seconds after that: pitted. All without a trace of adrenaline or anxiety in his voice even after weaving through heavy traffic at high speeds just to get there. The dude could have been calling out a golf game on TV. Rock on!

Good ending, but that is way too fast for a PIT. And to have all those other motorists 😨
Imagine being in oncoming traffic, driving at 65 MPH with your family when all of a sudden a vehicle traveling at 113 MPH rolls uncontrollably toward you. Worst yet, the vehicle was under control (albeit reckless) until the police intervened.
Why are innocent lives being put in danger over drugs?

The car went the wrong way on an interstate ramp, so not in control

and safely.

which resulted in the police car flipping over on I-49 in Tontitown/Springdale
