Civilian intervention during a police chase isn’t always advisable, but you can’t argue that it was incredibly effective here.

After a 14-year-old boy stole his grandfather’s Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joy ride, a dangerous police chase ensued last Saturday during which the teen driver ploughed through a skatepark in Syracuse, Utah, very nearly running into several children.

When the Hyundai started to drive back towards the park, local driver Bryson Rowley took matters into his own hands, using his 3.2-tonne (approx) Dodge Ram to stop the 1.3-tonne Veloster head on. Both drivers were uninjured and the 14-year-old was taken to a local juvenile detention centre.
