If the person can not be seen getting out of the car it is hard to claim a person walking from under the bridge even if the only one is the culprit.

I honestly don't know why more of these guys don't just head straight for downtown LA. with all the buildings and overpasses it's hard for a chopper to follow you, and with all the traffic if you're driving good enough the pursing cars will almost always pull off the chase, there's another video of a white hellcat outrunning the chopper and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same driver cause dude had nearly identical driving skills and moves.

With how that jaguar was rolling at the end, it wouldve been easier to just simply hold the car back and hope that you can creep it to a stop. Seeing that cop try to go for the door was kinda funny, especially with how far it rolled on the road

[@privacyvalued4134]

Ever take your foot off the brake in a car with an automatic transmission? Most cars just roll under their own power at 1 to 2 mph on a perfectly level street. It takes a fairly significant incline for a vehicle to do nothing at all when taking the foot off the brake. In other words, it wasn't going to stop of its own accord until it ran into something stationary and immovable like the light pole at the end. Good luck with trying to stop 2,500 lbs of steel, glass, and plastic at any speed with your own physical strength. That's like benching at least 500 lbs continuously. Police generally don't put in that much effort. The attempt at the door was reasonable, if ultimately futile.

Crime happens all day everyday and will continue to happen for the rest of our lives, sucks but we can only do so much about it

[@joshklinghopher]

pretty sure that was Ryan Gosling driving

[@friendlyneighborhoodmemer18]

I fucking love the live chat 😭😂 "Bro looking for the repair shop" XDD

[@sharonloomis5264]

How odd? Unless someone was waiting under the bridge in another car. Then he is not on foot.

[@Wailwulf]

There is a transit station entrance under that overpass. Most likely took public transit to get away, or just walked away as a pedestrian.

[@alinacannone1540]

You can only catch a short glimpse with this video and view(10min 25sec mark) but on cbs you can see someone walking out super slow the same direction of the rolling vehicle. 🤷‍♀️ The stupid thing is they immediately were looking for someone running and the opposite way.

There's cameras everywhere. They'll see his face unless he was smart enough to cover his face

[@Vandicoup]

Maybe, maybe not. But I can still see it happening. Especially in a densely-covered city, there's a ton of places to run to, duck in/under, get lost in, etc. It helps if they never even got a desc of the driver to begin with. You can just blend in with normal foot traffic so long as you obviously don't look like a runaway fugitive and don't do anything stupid.

That was the wildest police chase. I got to it late. But watched until the end. I cant wait to find out if he got away!

[@WaldoGotchubent]

He’s gone like the wind

[@juniormichelesperant6372]

He got away lol

[@VIPERGUNNERCHANNEL]

He got away faster than a bullet leaving the barrel but probably left behind fingerprints DNA and other useful evidence

[@calestial2457]

He was able to get away, but with nothing as he didn't get to sell the car for money
