it's just another day in the twin cities
minding your own business until this
happens yes on the right side of your
screen that is a police car chasing a
prius hybrid in the rain and mud and
incredibly that prius is the little
prius that could there were two pits
there now they're in the median and
there's a third attempt maybe a fourth
in the median which is full somehow
somehow they're still going that median
is full of mud and melted snow and rain
water but somehow
that prius is still going to be specific
this is the twin cities
in the north west metro heading
southbound on 169 in the cities of
champlain and then osseo now the black
charger that's off the left side of your
screen unfortunately lost the battle
with the prius the officer stated his
car was out of commission that's
certainly the first time we've seen a
prius beat out a charger but of course
this chase is not over and it's only
going to get more interesting and we're
not sure but curious if the large
battery pack in the back of the prius is
affecting what you'd expect the normal
weight distribution be for a vehicle
making it a little less vulnerable to a
pit but here's the end of the chase
there's actually no pit there and i
think perhaps prior damage to the
vehicle may have played a roll plus the
slick roads but
if you watch that again or if you rewind
you will see there's no contact from the
squad car the suspect does get out runs
from officers but is successfully
apprehended by the police officer and
his canine the suspect was evaluated by
paramedics for a canine bite on the
right side of your screen there's state
patrol doing it carrying some momentum
to get through that median since there
is so much snow melt out there it's
there's really a fair amount of water in
in the the medians there
