An Arkansas State Police pursuit in West Memphis began after authorities were alerted that the Memphis Police Department was chasing a gray 2026 Kia K5 toward Arkansas. According to the official report, Sergeant Spencer Morris broadcast that the Kia was involved in an active Memphis pursuit and was crossing the Interstate 55 bridge into Arkansas. Trooper Dairren Evans positioned himself on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to intercept the vehicle as it continued north. The Kia exited I-55 onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at a high rate of speed and allegedly disregarded a stop sign. Trooper Evans activated his emergency equipment, but the Kia continued at speeds reaching approximately 80 MPH before turning onto the entrance ramp for Interstate 40 East. Once on I-40, the pursuit escalated dramatically. Trooper Evans attempted to position his patrol vehicle for a Tactical Vehicle Intervention, but according to the report, the Kia's driver repeatedly used hard braking followed by heavy acceleration to prevent the maneuver. As Evans continued trying to close the distance, speeds reportedly climbed to approximately 130 MPH while the pursuit approached heavy interstate traffic. The Kia then allegedly entered the shoulder of I-40 at approximately 130 MPH, narrowly missing vehicles traveling on the roadway. Watch the full dashcam footage to see how this extreme interstate pursuit unfolds.
