In a bizarre and unexpected turn of events, a Google Street View car was at the center of a high-speed police chase, reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour before ultimately crashing into a nearby creek.
The incident, which left both law enforcement and bystanders stunned, has raised questions about the circumstances that led to such an unusual event.
The chase began in Middletown, Indiana, when a police officer attempted to pull over the Google Street View car for a routine traffic violation. Instead of complying, the driver of the vehicle suddenly accelerated, igniting the pursuit.
Dashcam footage captured the astonishing scene as the familiar Google-branded car weaved through traffic, flouting traffic laws and endangering public safety.
Law enforcement mobilized multiple units to apprehend the rogue vehicle, but the Street View car proved to be a formidable opponent, maneuvering through streets and intersections with audacity, even crossing a red light.
The pursuit drew considerable attention from onlookers, who were both perplexed and amused by the spectacle.
However, as the chase intensified, the Google Street View car’s driver, Coleman Fegurson, lost control, careening off the road and crashing into a nearby creek. Emergency services rushed to the scene to ensure the safety of the driver and any potential passengers.
Despite the daring pursuit, Ferguson was apprehended and is now held in the Henry County Jail facing a level 6 felony charge.
