We’re actually stunned there aren’t extra police chase dashcam videos that includes suspects in Ford Focus STs, to not point out Subaru WRXs and the like. Contemplating the group that’s typically drawn to such rides, one would suppose they’re attempting to outrun cops left and proper to show how briskly their four-banger actually is.
Mother killed as she tries to stop carjackers from kidnapping her son.
That’s why it’s attention-grabbing to see this chase the place an officer tries to run down a Ford Focus ST that’s allegedly street racing. The cop goes the wrong way on a bigger street with a tough median when he spots the road racers.
Flipping a U, he’s already far behind the speeding hatchbacks. However the officer retains going for it, finally catching up with one automobile and telling the driving force to tug over earlier than chasing down the opposite. We surprise if that first man complied or simply took off as soon as the cop was out of sight?
As he chases down the second automotive, the Focus ST driver blacks out, attempting to masks his actions so the officer can’t monitor him within the darkness of night time. However each time he hits his brakes, which is very often as they wind via a residential space, the again finish of the hatchback lights up like a Christmas tree.
It’s apparent the Focus ST is quicker than the police cruiser, though not by as a lot as some want to consider. This isn’t like once we see Hellcats or GT500s mild cops up and make them seem like they’re standing nonetheless.
What throws the pursuing officer off is the suspect taking a sequence of turns quickly, inflicting the cop to lose visible and must guess which method the Ford went. One way or the other, he guesses accurately, but it surely doesn’t actually matter.
Extra officers have swarmed the realm and two of them have the suspect cornered. So it’s true what they are saying, you may be capable of outrun a police cruiser however good luck outrunning the radio.
