The driver of a C7 Corvette Z06 is dead after he allegedly goaded a deputy on the highway and led law enforcement in Coweta County, Georgia on a high-speed chase. That might sound crazy because it is, but in the end not only did the suspect die, a deputy was put in the hospital and a K9 was shot through and through, leaving a deadly crime scene the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is processing.

Watch a felon in a Jeep Grand Cherokee give Georgia police a run for their money.

According to reports, authorities say 27-year-old Anthony Richard Fields II pulled behind a Coweta County deputy and revved his C7 Z06 Corvette’s engine a few times before dropping the hammer and blasting past the cruiser on I-85 on August 26.

That, of course, led to a pursuit with speeds reaching upwards of 120 mph. Honestly, that’s not fast for a car Fields was driving. Still, he was able to keep ahead of deputies and other cops as they swarmed the area, at one point going into a subdivision.
