A car chase on Interstate 94 with the Minnesota State Patrol almost ended badly, and Minnesota Department of Transportation cameras caught the tail end of the pursuit on video.
In the footage, a silver car can be seen fleeing police, weaving in and out of traffic, and narrowly missing other vehicles on the interstate.
According to a release from the Minnesota State Patrol, the pursuing trooper used a PIT maneuver on the fleeing vehicle to disable it.
After being disabled, the silver vehicle took the 49th street exit in North Minneapolis before spinning out of control while trying to turn onto the street.
The vehicle spun, with its back end slamming into the railing on the overpass as police swarmed the car. One man in the passenger seat can be seen exiting with his hands in the air while holding what appeared to be a drink.
With weapons drawn, the officer ordered the other man out of the vehicle and both of them onto their stomachs on the sidewalk.
The vehicle reportedly took off after it started to slow for a traffic stop near 42nd Ave. N.
No further information has been released at this time.
