Police Chase Of Suspected Drunk Driver Leads To Crash in Michigan

Police have released dashboard camera footage of their high-speed pursuit through the streets of Bay City. The footage shows a Michigan State Police trooper attempt to pull over a red 2008 Saturn Astra as it heads east on Salzburg Road toward Lafayette Bridge at about 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5. The Astra briefly comes to a stop between South Erie and South Wenona streets, before abruptly taking off again. The Astra proceeds over the double-hump bridge as the trooper pursues and radios the situation to colleagues. Just before Broadway Avenue, the trooper attempts to pull alongside the fleeing car, only for the Astra to turn south down Marsac. As the Astra blows through numerous stop signs, dead leaves billowing out in its wake, the trooper radios that it is hitting speeds of 60 mph.
