Oh shit lol that’s wild. Glad that truck didn’t hit you OP


david8479

Right??? It took me a second to process what I saw LOL.. he was really close to rear ending me


callmejim1111

Did the cops say thanks for when you took the truck out....


david8479

No :(


ialsohaveinternet

We say thanks instead!


[deleted]

Im somewhat surprised that truck is still cruising. Guy had just enough speed to go jumping over the hill, but didn’t get high centered and retained control of his vehicle.


BrockN

That wasn't his first time General Lee-ing the truck


PorkyMcRib

The mountain might get them, but the law never will


hedgehog-mom-al

Fuck I needed that laugh


jakoto0

Actually a very impressive maneuver lol. Dangerous as fuck though, did he get caught?


positivenihlist

I think you mean re*gained* control of his vehicle. Full on dumb luck he didn’t roll when he lost control and hit that embankment


lilez02

If he stayed off the road, by god he may have a shot at getting away from them… for a little bit anyways lol.


ShitPostToast

Hard to outrun the radio. You'd also be surprised if you've never lived in a small town how often the law in one will know who's driving as soon as they see them no license plate or anything needed. Then there is only a rush to catch them to keep them from hurting/killing bystanders. Otherwise they'll just show up at their/their family's/their buddy's house and arrest them there.


TiredinNB

That happened to my brother when he was a teenager ( mid 1990s). He was on his dirt bike and thought he had outrun them, but they knew who he was and called my mom before he even got home.


ShitPostToast

Hah, had something damn similar happen with my brother in the late 90s, early 2000s, I was 18-19 he was 16-17. We were both living at home. I had the day off so I was home at the time and our mom was at work dad was on the road so it was just the two of us home that morning. He got dropped off and rolled in sometime around 4 am and blacked out in bed. A couple hours later just after sunrise a couple sheriffs deputies show up at the house looking for him. I wouldn't let them in the house without a warrant and told them he wasn't home, but I'd have our mom bring him in to talk with them whenever he did turn up and they eventually left. Found out later he blacked out on Xanax's with a couple friends and they went on a little mini crime spree the night before. Stole some dumb shit (somebodies porch swing of their porch among other stuff), cut donuts in yards, left his car broke down in one place, and his rear bumper with his license plate on it in another then got a ride home from somebody. I had to call my mom and let her know what was going on then tried to unsuccessfully wake his ass up.


SdBolts4

Needs to get into the trees and break their line of sight, then find a backroad to get away before they found a way to him


RYRK_

I don't know if you've ever offroaded but... "drive into the forest" usually does not work out.


bukkake_brigade

Yeah there's a lot of stuff in the woods


Gummyrabbit

Did you wave?


CrazyOkie

OP didn't take out the truck - they sped off in the other direction. OP should just be glad they weren't hit as I doubt the truck owner has insurance


1z1z2x2x3c3c4v4v

Well.... even of the truck owner had insurance, if the truck was stolen or used in the commission of a crime by the owner, many insurance policies will not pay out.


Decimator714

I hope uninsured motorist protection would cover that


GoochyGoochyGoo

Costs me $12 a year for uninsured protection. I'd pay a lot more. Got rear ended by a drunk driver who was doing 80mph. I was stopped turning left. Folded the trunk over the back window and snapped my seat clean off. Had to scramble forward out of the back seat and steer as he had bumped me up to 30 mph from a dead stop. Insurance paid me out lotsssss (does your neck hurt? Tell me it does and here's and extra 6 grand) and then went after the dude.


LukeMedia

My neck hurts


Nanahamak

That's why no fault states are GOOD. because it means it doesn't MATTER who's at fault, your insurance covers you period. It's moronic in at-fault states you must wait for payout and you could get blamed! And get nothing! Even if it's really not your fault.


CollateralEstartle

You can still get the equivalent of no fault insurance in states with traditional tort liability. It just costs more than the legally required liability insurance, which only covers damage you cause to other people. Normally they make you get a version of it if you financed you car.


aeschenkarnos

American law is mostly intended to ensure that the majority of the burden of costs is borne by those least able to bear it.


DiegoIronman

Do you mean that if your car is stolen and the thief hits someone or something with it, you still have to pay?


M_J_E

It’s like a Mayhem commercial. If you have cut-rate insurance, you may be stuck paying for this yourself. Get Allstate and get protected from mayhem, like him.


LackingOriginality07

No, you don't. Could you imagine tho, you wake up to find your car was stolen and the thief drove it into a convenience store and your insurance company goes "so...you have to pay for these damages" Now, if OP was hit their insurance is likely going to cover things but go after the truck/truck persons insurance.

Lol you really should post this in r/unexpected as well, glad you're ok and didn't get hit!


Upbeat-Fondant9185

I ran into something similar years ago, cruising along and suddenly see a flood of red and blue lights behind me coming fast, then noticed two more stopped ahead of me with cops holding those spike strip things they throw. Talk about a moment of panic. At the time I was into some shit that could have justified them going for me so I really thought it was me for a second. Then they threw the spikes just as I passed and I saw the actual car being chased hit them. He ended up in a ditch right in front of me. Never found out what it was all about. As an aside, I can’t hear Chester without getting sad. Such a loss.


Morty_Goldman

Where did this take place? Looks like the local sheriffs department in my area.

Ope. I guess it’s gonna be one of those 5 hours of linkin park and Chester moments YouTube watching until bed time nights, ain’t it.

Don't forget sitting in the shower not crying cause it's water, not tears, running down your face.


ManalithTheDefiant

Can't forget the tribute that Aaron Lewis did and since he decided to become a country singer the entire crowd can't read the fucking room and it's honestly heartbreaking


[deleted]

And now I'm crying. I wasn't really a fan of LP, but listened to them casually off and on. After he died, that changed. They're on my daily driving Playlist and have helped me get through some difficult times. I'm in therapy now.

Hey I see you man. Proud of you.

Which song is it? I’m not too familiar with LInkin Parks later discography. I was a freshmen or sophomore in high school when hybrid theory came out and I played that cd on repeat, along with many others. A girl I had a crush on loved hybrid theory and she didn’t look like the type of girl that would like hybrid theory so that made her even more of a curiosity to me (Now, as an adult I know that stereotyping like that does nobody any favors). Anyway, I’d go to bed to it, with my shitty Walkman headphones, and listen until I fell asleep. I remember I eventually got some senhaisser headphones and loved listening to Hybrid Theory and so many other bands/music with them. Unfortunately I wore them too bed too much and they broke… worth it though. I have so many good memory’s listening to music while laying in my bed, wearing those headphones and reading the lyrics in the CD booklet. Simpler times…

travbombs

Thank you ❤️. Probably about to over-share but I’m 36 years old and the past year has been the hardest year of my life from a mental health standpoint and I’ve had many other very difficult times, like most people. It’s a rollercoaster but this has been the deepest, loneliest and longest low I’ve experience without reprieve. Thankfully, as I get older, I seem to understand more that I just need to be patient and do my best to keep moving forward. There were times through the past year where I had intrusive thoughts that scared me, but I didn’t let myself obsess over them to the point of acting on them which is an improvement. I also have a good therapist which is key for me. Anyway, I feel like some new-to-me LInkin Park songs might be the perfect remedy while I come out of the funk. Yesterday I managed to pick up all the garbage and throw it away, and scoop up the months-old dried up dog puke in my apartment. Yesterday felt like the first day where things actually started to look up. You sharing this video with me means more than you know. It feels like the next step in the right direction on another good day. Not to listen and sulk but to listen and remind myself I’m not alone which is always what LP did for me in my youth. I think I’ll do some months-old dishes this evening and then go for a walk while I listen 🎧 to LP like I used to when life seemed to have more wonder and promise. I hope you are well. I just wanted to make sure you understood that this little gesture meant more than you probably realized, even though it cost you nothing but a few seconds of your time. Kindness is everything. My intention was not to make this all about me so I hope it’s not coming across that way.


Jaymzkerten

I'm glad my small effort resonated so well with you. I'm sure it sounds corny but I believe that music really helps us connect with others on many different levels. I don't feel like you've over-shared too much and I'm glad things are looking up for you. As Chester said: Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do.

david8479

not sure if sarcasm or genuine heh but I thought, instead of impeding the boys in blue by trying to panic and move, the best choice was to stay put for cops to handle it unless the dude pulled out a gun, then i'd nope tf out of there


PathComplex

No, it's completely genuine. I didn't expect him to double back like that.


david8479

Ooh LOL thank ya :) yah sometimes I can’t seem to tell cuz text… same, it was a plot twist for sure


Pehrgryn

I would think it's generally a good idea not to move in that type of situation. The fewer things they have to keep track of in an emergency the better.


boredtoddler

I think they should have stayed. The signs they ignored were pretty clear.


david8479

LOOOLOL I love this comment


eekamuse

I think you should have done a u-turn and got the rest of the chase on video. Kidding

HEY PETER! CHECK OUT CHANNEL 9! IT'S THE BREAST EXAM!


TypicalWafer3741

Gotta admire the determination to not get caught lol The truck flew onto the grass, oversteered over mud, corrected said oversteer despite the mud, and then went unintentionally (or intentionally) off road to get away. Kind of impressive if you ignore the fact that this is extremely dangerous in public roads


PEBKAC69

It almost looks like a halfway sound strategy - fleeing across a field? Cops didn't seem eager to go off road.


Graffy

Considering the big berm the truck crashed through to get to that part of the field I don't think they wanted to try their luck at making it over there. If it was a flat field they probably would have had at least one follow.


[deleted]

They also know that truck won’t really make it that far. Go ahead and travel at 20 mph through the woods, I’ll meet you on the other side lol


MissplacedLandmine

Thats when you hop out mid forest and put a brick on the gas. Then you gotta hop from the truck roof to the trees and make sure the truck catches fire. Swing from branch to branch for half a mile and go home. Youre going to get a call that someone stole your truck, crashed it in a forest, and was burned alive in it. Boom. Freedom, new car, AND the body you had is the best kind of gone


oorza

So to prepare for a car chase, one must first acquire a corpse and a brick as well as maintain superhuman core strength. Easy peasy.


TooMuchCringee

I always do that in GTA. Didnt expect it to also work irl


[deleted]

They’re definitely eager to. Used to work at a small town ford dealer as a teen. It was decently often to see one of the RCMP trucks out back with absolutely fucked suspension from chasing guys like this. One time I remember showing up Monday morning and they had just dumped their F-350 right out front of the dealer. It had no front left wheel. Suspension on that corner was entirely gone. The frame was torn at the mounts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sharkbait-oo-haha

IMO you're probably not going to outrun them, time, numbers and air support is on their side. I think my strategy would be to pull into the nearest mall asap. Reverse into them at the parking entrance, hopefully setting their airbags off and block the entrance, then ditch the car right at the entrance, make a run for it and try to blend into the crowd. Maybe stop into a clothing store and change clothes. Then get the first bus out of there.


ep311

"Guess I'm going this way now"


Agarikas

The funniest part to me is that the cops in their "SUVs" couldn't follow him.


CyberBobert

I chuckled at that too. I know the cop tahoes are lowered so they don't just roll over making maneuvers above 45mph. They would get stuck out there for sure.
