Escaped Convict Launches Pickup Into The Air As Police Chase Ends In Most Michael Bay Way Possible
It might look like behind-the-scenes footage from a Michael Bay film or perhaps a Fast and Furious installment, but this is indeed a real-life police chase. And a stupidly scary one at that.
It all started in Webster Parish, Louisiana on Tuesday afternoon, when a stolen Toyota Tacoma was pulled over for speeding. While the driver spoke to the deputy, 18-year-old passenger Kevonte Dekorey Austin - who’d escaped from a work release programme - jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off.
A chase that reached speeds of up to 115mph followed, ending when Austin hit a spike strip. After leaving the road, the Tacoma went down a ditch, exiting at a speed high enough to launch the pickup into the air. It landed in a restaurant car park onto another vehicle - which was occupied at the time.
Incredibly, neither Austin, nor Barbara Harlon - the occupant of the vehicle the Tacoma landed on - suffered serious injury. Austin and the original driver have been taken into custody.

:) Sorry, car.exe has crashed unexpectedly! We are collecting information and restart the chase soon.
i dont think he wanted to be stopped
Kevonte why u do dat!
Big crash, but not as big as the crash in my town the other night. A car running from the police slammed airborne into a tree and snapped it in half. The car looked so bad you would not think anyone could have survived, but everyone did with non life threatening injuries. Its amazing the beating cars can take.
