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.

No credit?
Man please! That won’t even scratch a Toyota Pickup!
But it was a Toyota Pickup, only a different one
Meanwhile if you attempted the same jump on Forza Horizon
No offense intended here, but I don’t see the need to credit someone who found someone else’s video first? If you had made the video, or you were the truck driver, I’d say credit is due. But sharing a link to a video from ABC that’s reposting a video from someone else, doesn’t seem very credit worthy. Again, not trying to be rude, just giving my two cents on why there was no credit given
I thought they’ve finnished the F&F 8 filmming
