Arkansas Police PIT Pontiac, Which Flips And Catches Fire

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

For some reason, the Pontiac Grand Prix seems to be a fairly popular vehicle for people to use when running from the police. They’re not particularly quick, but they’re not as gutless as a Nissan Sentra or Chevy Spark, which is why this fleeing suspect puts up a bit of a fight before getting the PIT. They should’ve just pulled over because the end result was their Pontiac flipping and catching fire.

Watch police PIT a Range Rover which goes airborne.

We don’t know much about this incident, which just happened on June 1. In the video, we see ASP Trooper Padgett join into an ongoing pursuit down a two-lane country road. The suspect seems to be really flogging that Grand Prix. For whatever reason, the lead vehicle pulls over and lets Trooper Padgett take point.
