Edmond police release footage of high-speed chase ending in crash
By: The Edmond Police Department released body camera and dash camera footage of a traffic stop that turned into a police chase.
Police responded to a call of a reckless driver Tuesday morning.
An off-duty officer had followed the car and said the vehicle had sped up to 95 mph, then slowed down to 55 mph, before the driver and a passenger got out in a construction zone to switch drivers.
During the traffic stop, officers believed the two were high and said the car "reeks of weed".
While asking the driver to step out of the vehicle, the driver sped off, starting a pursuit.
The chase ended when the vehicle crashed into some trash bins, lost control, and hit a semi.
The driver and passenger were injured, but no one else was hurt, police said.
