Wrong car shunted off road by state trooper during Arkansas police chase
An Arkansas State Police trooper has retired after he crashed his vehicle into the wrong car during a pursuit.
Footage shows the officer performing a PIT (precision immobilisation technique) manoeuvre on a bystander’s vehicle “in error” during the chase.
The car was wrongly identified as the suspect’s vehicle and can be seen spinning and crashing into a barrier after the manoeuvre.
Authorities said the trooper had been in pursuit of two vehicles travelling faster than 100 mph.
The incident happened on Sunday 17 September on Interstate 40.
