Sterling Heights Police Chase Ends in Violent Crash

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
The dashcam video of a police chase in Sterling Heights started as a routine traffic stop, but ended in a crash.

“We never like to see police pursuits, but it’s part of police work,” Lt. James Belmonte said. “We had highly trained officers behind the wheel, and they did everything right.”

Belmonte said police began chasing a man in his early 60s just before midnight Tuesday eastbound on 15 Mile Road near Van Dyke Avenue. The man has had run-ins with police for nearly two years.

“He’s been on our radar,” Belmonte said. “I remember coming into contact with him when I was on the road … I’d say (he’s) a nuisance.”

The driver was in a silver 1997 Mercedes. Police first thought the car looked suspicious when it parked in the at a Super 8 Motel on Van Dyke Avenue near 15 Mile Road. But it’s what the driver did next that lead to the chase.

“He cut through private property to avoid turning at the light and that’s a traffic violation itself, that’s when the two patrol officers attempted to pull him over and he fled,” Belmonte said.

According to the police report, the driver was going more than 80 mph. Once the chase approached Hayes Road, 2 miles away, the driver flipped the car around and started speeding west.

“That’s when he lost control and clipped the side of a semitruck and crashed,” Belmonte said. “He’s lucky to be alive.”

The driver is hospitalized with a broken collarbone, broken arm and broken ribs. He is expected to be arraigned on fleeing and eluding charges, and for not having a license, when he is released from the hospital. He also has a misdemeanor warrant in another city.

  1. Click bait, click bait, click bait.
    This channel from this vid let me down. You dont havd to lie to get clicks. ,( maybe you do thou )

  2. If he didn't turn around and wreck out pokey Joe the cop who was driving like a an old women would of never caught him ..

  3. Have a wonderful and blessed day!! We need to wake up to the truth of all the wickedness going on. First we need to be trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior he is the only way to Heaven. Only two choices Heaven or hell, no in between while people pray us into heaven. The Precious Lord and Savior gave us the only way to heaven. We are in the last days he will be taking his own home very soon. One huge reason we know this is the fact of the verses in his word that tells us gives us warning of the last days.
    2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
    2Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
    Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
    Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
    Isaiah 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
    Isaiah 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

    If we are honest with ourselves we know this is happening right now. infants, and children are being murdered pretty much for sport. We have prominent officals calling sex with children okay, just their orientation.
    We have big money funding people to cause division and race riots. The Lord made us all and he doesn't look at our skin color he looks at our hearts. He sees saved, and unsaved, he sees Jew and Gentile. To hate or harm someone due to their skin color it is telling the Mighty Lord God he messed up.
    Please call upon Jesus today according to the word of God, we either belong to Jesus or to satan. Please call upon Jesus today. Time is short and we know not what a day will bring. If you believe in prayer please pray for our children to be protected, and for the lost to come to salvation.
    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  4. In all fairness, that guys car hadn't had a chance to thaw out before the cop engaged him… If I was him..I'd ask for a do-over…

  5. The guy was brilliant by pulling a U-turn and trying to escape the cop by going the other way. If you ever watch The Dukes of Hazzard you know that works 100% of the time

  6. What the fuck he had a blown out tire and smoked that cop.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🖕

  7. The exhaust fumes from that Merc gave me cancer. Well, visual cancer at least… I almost started cooking meth and throwing pizza on my roof. Oh and ruining Aaron Paul's life in the process. Now where are my pants?

  8. this is pretty interesting to watch i live right down the street from this and drive down that road almost every day haha

  9. what's up with all the smoke? is his car dying ? or is it just a cold day and just warming up?…. also this cop is smart and just keeps him in view rather than risking lives by tailgating him like i see happen a lot in other chase videos. thanks for the upload
