PURSUIT of Racing TESLA - Runs over SPIKE STRIPS and then PIT Maneuver by Arkansas State Police - YouTube

Trooper’s Report: On July 12, 2023, I was notified about a pursuit coming eastbound on Interstate 40 from the 256-mile marker. A St. Francis County Deputy was pursuing two gray vehicles at a high rate of speed. I attempted to get my spike strip set-up around the 274- mile marker. Due to heavy traffic and the speeds the suspects were approaching, I had to disregard. I got back on Interstate 40 and noticed the suspect, driving a gray Tesla, approaching in the left lane. I used my rear radar antennae and clocked the suspect going 92 mph in the 65 mph zone. He slowed down to around 80 mph as I noticed the second gray vehicle, another gray Tesla, approaching in the right lane. As I attempted to slow both vehicles down, the suspect in the left lane passed me to the left and accelerated. The suspect in the other Tesla abruptly took the 275 Exit. Due to the concrete wall to my right, I was unable to exit. I stayed with the suspect who passed me to the left. TFC Hess entered
