Somehow not everyone has received the message that running from law enforcement in the state of Arkansas is a bad idea. We guess they haven’t seen dashcam footage like this of a suspect who was fleeing local law enforcement when an Arkansas state trooper jumps into the chase, ending it by pitting the vehicle, which flips off an interstate overpass.

We know to some this sounds brutal and it honestly is. Although with modern vehicles’ roof structural integrity, it’s not a death sentence like it would’ve been thirty years ago. The trooper also ended a dangerous pursuit on city streets which could’ve resulted in a fatal collision with some innocent people.
In the footage, we see the trooper jump in the chase as a whole string of cops are after the little Nissan crossover. Since it’s not some high-powered performance vehicle, he’s able to pass his colleagues and take the lead on the pursuit without much trouble.
That’s not to say the trooper isn’t putting on display some nice driving skills, because he is. Watching Arkansas State Police at work is almost always a joy. It’s obvious their training is thorough.
As the trooper closes in to end things, the suspect tries using the little gerbil-powered crossover to outmaneuver and outrun him. But that effort is useless. Perhaps it’s how the Nissan ended up strafing to the left instead of spinning out, shooting past the overpass barrier and flipping on the interstate below?
By some miracle, nobody was on that section of the road at the time. Had the crossover landed on another vehicle, or directly in front of one, the result might have been fatal for the suspect and the innocent people. Instead, police drag the Nissan driver out and arrest him.
