From a stolen airport car that left devastation in its wake, and a sport bike rider who turned the highway into a deathdeying stunt show to a carjacking duo whose run ended in chaos and much more. Here are the craziest moments when high-speed police chases ended in tragedy. [Music] >> You in the army? >> Military, too. >> Boy, you in trouble. >> Get your ass good. It started as just another quiet evening on Interstate 95. Around 5:27 p.m. on April 11th, 2021, Georgia State Patrol troopers were watching for traffic violations near mile marker 97 when a silver sport bike caught their attention. The rider blew past without a tag in sight. Not the kind of detail most people overlook. But instead of pulling over, this rider had other plans. ones that involved high-speed, high stakes, and a level of recklessness that would shock even veteran officers. [Music] [Music] [Music] to the left side. [Music] >> The troopers weren't chasing an ordinary commuter. This rider took things up a notch, darting between cars with barely inches to spare. Using the center line like a racetrack and both shoulders like bonus lanes, he turned the interstate into his personal escape route. [Music] [Music] left three left. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat [Music] As the roundabout near Belfast Keller Road came into play, things took a turn he didn't expect. The rider made his move to jump back onto the highway, but gravity and one well-placed patrol unit had other plans. Back over [Music] it, he ran into my car. 1050. 1050. 1050. He's running. He's running. I got it. Put that behind your back. >> The rider, later identified as Gabrielle Luis Rivera, was not just some thrillseeking motorcyclist. He was an active duty US Army soldier stationed at Fort Stewart. After surrendering on foot and being evaluated for minor injuries, Rivera told troopers he had maxed out his bike at 187 miles per hour. He was arrested taken to Brian County Jail and hit with a long list of charges that could follow him far beyond the barracks. If there's a lesson here, it's that fleeing from law enforcement at breakneck speeds isn't just reckless, it's career ending. I got one. >> You in the army? >> Military, too. >> Oh, boy. You in trouble. >> Kiss your ass. Goodbye. >> You see that right here? >> He's prime military. You on for Stewart, >> S Major Fender. You know who he is? Division S Major, a buddy of mine. I'm f to call him right now on your stupid ass. Hey, love. I'm going to head up there. You're done. The tour is over. >> I'm going to make sure of that. It started just before 400 p.m. on May 11th, 2025. A black Mitsubishi eclipse was flagged in a statewide alert tied to a chilling carjacking out of Fort Meyers. Two armed women, one tall with tattoos and another shorter, had allegedly taken the vehicle by force near Bell Boulevard. Somewhere on the interstate, they were blending in with afternoon traffic. or so they thought. But what looked like an ordinary crossover would soon become the centerpiece of a reckless highstakes pursuit that no one on that highway could ignore on all the units. Somebody speak up. We're tired traffic. Heat up [Music] [Music] here. When the driver spotted what was waiting ahead, instincts kicked in. But instincts weren't enough. Swerving hard, she lost grip, and the next few seconds became a blur of barriers, tires, and chaos she couldn't recover from. 748 vehicle southbound did not exit. Yeah, that's the driver identified as Stacy Rebecca Leah and her passenger prior Miranda Lee were both taken into custody after the crash and airlifted to GF Coast Medical Center for medical clearance. Deputies recovered a loaded 32 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver that had reportedly been tossed from the vehicle mid- pursuit. That weapon along with the reckless driving and suspected carjacking painted a clear picture of what they were running from. But no matter the reason one truth held steady when someone tries to outrun the Florida Highway Patrol, it never ends well. It was supposed to be just another late morning on Interstate 530 calm lanes, smooth traffic, and nothing out of the ordinary. But on July 4th, 2025, one driver had other plans. As Sergeant T. Harris tried pulling over a purple Dodge Charger for a simple traffic violation, the man behind the wheel chose chaos instead of compliance. That decision kicked off a high-speed mess that would cross county's test troopers and tear through more than just road lines. He's going 141 28 traffic light 30 westbound passing the 184 pass 18. >> He got up on 118 service road. 118 service copy taking the 118 service road. Once the Charger hit tripledigit speeds, it was like watching a missile on wheels. At 167 mph, every move felt like a countdown to disaster weaving surging and skating by on sheer luck. [Music] 30 westbound on the 7. Speed of 150 >> 25. You're still on the interstate >> 104. I'm getting on the third row now. As the pursuit snaked through multiple exits and overpasses, it all came crashing down, literally near a tangled roundabout. There, in a split-second miscalculation, both the suspect and trooper James Booth lost traction and control, setting off a violent tumble that flipped their vehicles like toys in a blender. Red out forward 20. Incredibly, both the suspect and trooper booth walked away without serious injuries. The driver, later identified as John Robert Stevenson Jr., was taken into custody and now faces a mountain of charges, including first and secondderee battery reckless driving, fleeing, and damaging a civilian's brand new Toyota Grand Highlander. It's the kind of holiday headline no one wants to see. Just a reminder, the gas pedal might be easy to press, but the consequences are a whole lot harder to walk away from. Oh my gosh. It all started on the morning of April 8th, 2024 when a stolen vehicle vanished from Cleveland Hopkins Airport. But this wasn't some quiet theft followed by a discreet escape. This one took a loud, fast, and dangerous turn across multiple highways. The man behind the wheel, 23-year-old Mel Scrugs, seemed determined to outrun every siren and every state trooper in his path. What followed was a high-speed game of cat and mouse that pushed both man and machine past the breaking point. >> Coming up to the toll gate for 76 oh. I can't do that. EMS. [Music] >> Go the other way. Okay. >> Right. We're good. 13 light traffic still for aviation possible. [Music] This is 114 still southbound passing exit 14. >> Oh my gosh. 31 southbound and 224. >> That trooper's crash wasn't just another pursuit related injury. It ended a life. The man struck in that intersection didn't make it, turning this chase from dangerous to devastating. Mel Scrugs was finally captured on Interstate 76, but the damage had already been done. Now he's facing major charges in both Ohio and Pennsylvania with far more than traffic violations on the table. Some decisions don't just risk lives, they take them. It was Tuesday, February 21st, 2023, when a black Dodge Charger decided to make Interstate 40 its personal racetrack. Conway police were the first to respond, but it didn't take long for the Arkansas State Police to step in. As the chase headed toward Crystal Hill, one trooper took the lead. But just as things were heating up, unexpected technical issues threw a wrench in the game plan. That moment marked a shift. And with speeds climbing and risks multiplying, the pressure was on to take control fast. >> There's 40 east 140. 152. We're on the left shoulder now. Please back at speeds 112 flight. [Music] JFK speed. >> Just when it looked like things couldn't escalate further, the pursuit veered into a stretch of road where strategy met opportunity. A calculated move brought the wild ride to a stop, but not in the way the driver hoped. [Music] Once the vehicle was disabled, the driver, later identified as Cory Simmons, bolted on foot, likely thinking he could outpace the law one last time. That sprint didn't last long. A brief struggle followed, ending only after a single well-placed strike convinced Simmons to give up the fight. After being checked by paramedics and cleared medically, he was hauled back to Falner County. Let this be a reminder, no amount of horsepower can outrun a bad decision. [Music] extremely >> high beam sirens and a battered pickup flying down a Georgia highway at over 100 miles hour. That was the scene on April 6th, 2021 just before midnight. What began as a simple traffic stop spiraled into a highstakes pursuit with an impaired driver tossing mystery items out the window like it was a moving garage sale. Foresight County deputies were doing everything they could to keep up, but when they called in the Georgia State Patrol, the tempo changed instantly. >> I can't understand you. Can you speak up? >> That's your next up to >> All right. Yeah, we just passed the sign for next exit. So, we're getting there. Smalling already. [Music] He's throwing more stuff out the window after we pass the 55 mph speed limit sign under the exit 5 sign. Heat. Heat. Ready? I see some blue lights up. I think it's going to be my troops. >> On a stretch of highway where one wrong twitch can flip a vehicle, a bold maneuver came out of nowhere. It was the kind of high-speed gamble that only ends one of two ways. And this one ended in a way the driver never saw coming. well real well. You done now, boy. [Music] Radio troopers taking the lead. This will be over with in just a second. >> Every second on that stretch of highway was borrowed time. And when one trooper finally took the risk to shut it all down, the results were instant, undeniable, and game ending. by the old tower. Looks like they're about to hit him. >> Oh, they've hit him. 41. He's flipped and rolled and hit the wall. Clear. >> Holy [ __ ] 49 extre. [Music] Once the dust settled and the suspect's vehicle was fully boxed and the takedown unfolded with practiced speed, officers pulled up weapons drawn and pulled the driver, later identified as Jansen Cardell Jones, from the cab. He turned out to have a suspended license, active warrants for drugrelated charges, and a car full of tossed contraband. Jones was taken into custody and now faces felony fleeing DUI drugs, reckless driving, and a laundry list of other charges. At the end of the day when the state boys show up, it's not a matter of if you're getting caught, it's just how soon. [Music] >> If the plan was to disappear into the night, someone forgot to tell Eric Boyce that tail lights aren't optional. On January 24th, 2024, he crossed the Oklahoma line in a blue Nissan Kicks, fleeing from Roland police like he had something to prove. But the minute he rolled into Arkansas, Arkansas State Police rolled in too. And they don't play guessing games at 100 mph. Traffic is getting a little heavier. >> He's not right behind it. One by the 10. [Music] They're looking to get up here and get him off the track when we close the city if we can. [Music] >> Okay, Smith, the vehicle's on his shoulder eastbound. Still over 100. >> 10 for shoulder eastbound over 100. >> Okay, back off the shoulder in the left lane. Coming past the 13, get on raft or the 12, get on raft, come up on the 13 exit. >> 13 exit. >> Vehicle is blacked out. >> Give you hold. See if they got any for public service right now. >> Half an at about one change. The first tactical move from the lead trooper didn't stick, but hesitation wasn't part of the plan. On the second go, the suspect had no idea just how fast the tables were about to turn. >> Try to get him out here. [Music] TVI TV just today. >> Once the dust settled and the wheel stopped spinning, Eric Boyce and his passenger Morris Turner were both taken into custody without further incident. Boyce refused medical help, but Turner complained of a shoulder injury and was briefly hospitalized before being booked. A search of the vehicle revealed two blue canvas bags packed with what appeared to be large amounts of marijuana. All in all, it's another classic case of a high-speed decision that didn't even make it past the state line without flipping, literally. >> Oh, you're right, D. >> 41 rollover. 41 roll over. It was just another routine traffic stop on December 4th, 2024 until it wasn't. As Georgia deputies waved cars through a safety checkpoint, one white Hyundai Elantre made a snap decision that flipped the script entirely. Instead of stopping, the driver floored it, rocketing off at a speed that didn't just break the law, it shredded it. What followed was a reckless display of desperation that no one on that road will forget anytime soon. >> Get behind the car. [Music] Oh, you're right. Do >> 41 roll over. 41 roll over. [Music] Neither the driver, later identified as Caranan Eugene Hampton, nor his passenger, Shawn Michael Gatlin, had buckled up, a choice they likely regretted after meeting the windshield headon. Deputies later recovered 46 g of marijuana scattered from the vehicle packaged and ready for distribution. Hampton is now facing charges including felony marijuana possession, fleeing from law enforcement, and reckless driving. While Gatlin's charges include tampering with evidence and obstruction, two hospital beds, one total Delantra, and a court date they won't be missing. That's how this one ended. >> It was just afternoon on June 5th, 2025 when a Franklin County deputy pulled alongside a 2025 Honda Civic at a busy intersection in Columbus, Ohio. The light turned green. The driver signaled left and for a split second it looked like just another routine patrol moment. But that calm was short-lived. The deputy activated his lights expecting compliance. Instead, what he got was the start of a chase that would push traffic laws and luck to the breaking point. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. without law enforcement didn't hesitate. As smoke cleared and the vehicle lay tipped on its side, officers moved in. They broke through the rear glass, pulled out the suspects, and took stock of the wreckage. One arrest, one hospital trip, and one unlucky civilian with a broken toe. This chase ended with the kind of impact that echoes far beyond the crash site. Not every stolen ride gets a Hollywood ending, and this Civic certainly didn't. turning. Going to go north. >> He wrecked out. He wrecked out. >> Malcolm Curry probably didn't expect to make headlines that Friday evening, but on December 20th, 2024, he made one decision that changed the entire course of his night, bolting from a traffic stop in a Chrysler 300 with expired tags. Trooper Chase Landry had only just lit him up when Curry darted off the exit and squeezed past another vehicle in the turn lane. What followed wasn't just illegal, it was chaotic. Curry had just signed up for a high stakes game. He wasn't ready to finish. He's passing on the right shoulder. Speeds 141 traffic. [Music] We're going to take a [Music] westbound on westbound. [Music] No matter how fast you go, physics always catches up. As the Chrysler tried to carve its way onto Lawson Road, things got messy. A sudden miscalculation brought everything crashing down right into a place that definitely wasn't on the driver's GPS. Little secondary. I'll call it David O'Donn now. Westbound speed the 90 turning. Going to go north. Going to go north. It's right there. After the crash, Curry still tried to escape on foot, but trooper Hunter Glover was ready. Once in custody, a search of his vehicle uncovered more than just bad decisions. 2 lbs of marijuana, nearly 50 ecstasy pills, bottles of suspected promethazine, and several boxes of mushrooms. He's now facing a long list of charges, including possession with intent to deliver and fleeing. Safe to say Curry's attempt to outrun the law ended about as well as you'd expect. That chase might be over, but trust me, it's far from the wildest one out there. Go check out the next video to see how things get even more intense.
