A newly released video captures Arkansas State Police bringing a Chevy Sonic to a halt after an extended, high-speed pursuit involving multiple officers and reaching speeds in excess of 130 mph.
According to a police report, the incident occurred on the night of November 12, 2025, around 9:32 p.m. local time. Police state that a trooper clocked a red Chevy Sonic sedan traveling at 91 mph in a 75 mph zone and making abrupt lane changes.
That's where the video begins. Captured from the dash of the pursuing police vehicle, we see the cruiser accelerate to over 120 mph in an attempt to catch up to the speeding Chevy. The red sedan is seen again around the one-minute, 30-second mark.
After following the Chevy for a minute or so, the police cruiser activates their emergency lights. The driver hesitates at first then starts to accelerate, prompting the police cruiser to give chase. Speeds steadily climb, and before long, the two vehicles are traveling at more than 120 mph.
The driver behind the wheel of the Chevy Sonic swerves between lanes and other vehicles in an attempt to get away, but the police cruiser stays within sight.
Around the seven-minute, 20-second mark, the video shifts perspective to another trooper, who deploys a spike strip in an attempt to immobilize the Chevy Sonic. While it was initially believed that the driver in the Sonic avoided the spikes, the sedan's tires later begin to disintegrate, suggesting it was actually successful.
Police attempt a PIT maneuver around the nine-minute, 30-second mark at roughly 100 mph. The driver spins, but recovers and continues to flee.
A different trooper takes point and performs a second PIT maneuver, finally bringing the Chevy Sonic to a stop. The suspect is then taken into custody.
Charges include Felony Fleeing - Vehicle - Substantial Danger of Death, Reckless Driving 1, No Driver's License, and Speeding more than 15 mph over the limit. Arkansas State Police reported no injuries and no damage to patrol units during the incident.
