Dash cam video of a high speed chase through Elyria tells a troubling story of a city in serious financial trouble.
Footage shot by the Ohio Highway Patrol shows a ten-year-old Dodge Neon driven by a car thief racing through the intersection of State Routes 57 and 113 on Sunday night, February 21.
Nearly ten seconds later, after what seems like an eternity, an Elyria police cruiser can be seen passing by. A total of four cruisers were unable to catch up to the Neon because they were in such disrepair. Chief Duane Whitely told Fox 8 most of his fleet is at least ten years old with more than 100,000 miles on the engines.
Elyria officials are hoping residents will pass Issue 6, a temporary income tax levy that will fund improvements to roads, parks, police equipment and other necessities. The tax would not apply to disability, social security or retirement incomes.

RIGHT EAR
Driving a ten year old dodge neon? Not the best getaway car. Too old.
My 17 year old Saturn can go faster than those cops. They need some work on those old cars.
Nice rail grind
He should have restarted the level and tried again with a different car.
That's my cousin lmao!
😂😂 that was .y feinds car
People shouldn't be allowed to surrender after a long police chase. Once you've committed, you should have to play it out, ass-whooping and all.
O-H…
Drove right past my house! I live by the gas station lmao
Rigth ear RIP
PASSENGER!!! SHOW ME YOU SHIT YOUR PANTS!!!
This makes me proud of myself just by not being in situations like this 😅
I missed the underlying message of a town in economic ruin…good chase tho!
Seems OSHP also has the worst video recorded quality. Nothing like uploading a 240p video in 1080p. Time to upgrade vehicles and recording devices.
At least gas station didn't explode like in Gta
Hey, those Neons will eat a Nissan GTR's lunch. They'll do a quarter mile…eventually.
I give a big thumbs up for the trooper in the lead car. Nice driving skills. I would have loved to be doing a ride along with him on this night.
