KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Police released dash camera footage of a high-speed pursuit after rumors spread that an officer was pursuing the car before it crashed and killed five people.
Undersheriff Paul Matyas said Saturday that the video shows otherwise.
An officer attempted to pull over a Dodge Charger Saturday that was going an estimated 100 mph, MLive reported. Footage shows the officer activating his lights and sirens to begin the pursuit.
Shortly after, the officer can be heard telling a dispatcher, “yeah, I’m going to have to terminate it. It’s well over 100 mph.” The officer deactivates his lights and sirens and slows down. He can be heard saying he’ll continue down the road to see if the car crashed.
Videos shows the officer come across the crash scene about 90 seconds later.
