The driver of a seventh-generation Chevy Malibu was taken into custody this week after he led police on a high-speed chase before crashing heavily and attempting to flee on foot.
According to local Fox News affiliate FOX4, police attempted to stop the male driver of the Chevy Malibu in Dallas’ Red Bird neighborhood before he took off speeding down I-20 East. Dallas police typically don’t chase a suspect on the ground if they reach excessive speeds, so they instead decided to track the speeding Chevy sedan from the sky using a helicopter.
The helicopter footage shows the Chevy Malibu speeding down the highway as the driver weaves in and out of traffic and drives on the shoulder of the road. The driver eventually clips a section of grass with his right-side tires, causing him to lose control and crash into the back of an innocent motorist’s Honda Accord. The suspect then gets out of the car and attempts to flee on foot, running down the shoulder of the highway until he happens upon a warehouse/shipping company, which he then enters to attempt to hide in. Police were hot on his tail at this point, however, and proceeded to take him into custody without further incident.
The Honda Accord driver, Gurienderpal Ghag, was thankfully unhurt and joked to police that he was at least happy to help catch the suspect.
“I literally just left work, didn’t even make it 30-40 feet,” he told FOX4. “I see a car in my rear-view coming full speed hit me so fast all I had time to do was look at it and then get hit.”
“Made me feel better about myself, feel like I did that good deed for the day,” he said with a laugh.
Police did not release the suspect’s name and have not provided additional details about the murder he is believed to be connected to.

Run Forrest Run! Hold up those pants so they don’t fall down! Too bad those poor Malibus will soon be absent from the scene! Too bad Mary Barra can’t do ANYTHING to save it from extinction! If she keeps making these crazy decisions, pretty soon GM will be extinct too!
With the way this president is running the country, or whoever is running this country, nobody’s going to be able to afford any $50, $60, $70, $80+ thousand SUVs, electric cars whatever! China has a stranglehold on us with those computer chips. That will likely result in cars having LESS options available to us. I understand there are ships lined up on the West Coast loaded with all kinds of goods, but no one at the docks to unload them and no tractor trailer drivers to deliver them. I’m sure the shelves in MANY stores across the country are empty and not just in Connecticut. I’m also sure the hoarding will continue again soon!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Crazy political statements.
Cry more
👍👍👍
I see it was one of the “usual” suspects. I’m surprised his pants stayed up too.
Great camera coverage. Great police work. Well done. A+. I only wished they would have double clamped George Floyd, both at the wrists and ankles to control him. That would have precluded the BLM debacle and urban burnings. Kudos and accolades to Dallas PD, and their apprehension procedures.
And you know the radio was cranked up so loud he couldn’t hear the “whoop – whoop -whoop” from the helicopter.
Thank you Dallas PD.
