A high-speed police chase ended in a dramatic crash in Yığılca, Turkey. The incident, which took place at night at Yığılca Işıklı Junction of the D-655 Highway, saw a suspect attempt to flee from police, ultimately resulting in a collision.
The Düzce Provincial Police Department Traffic Branch teams attempted to stop a car with license plate number 81 BD 062, which they were suspicious of. However, the driver of the car ignored the police’s warning and sped away, leading to a tense chase that lasted approximately 10 kilometers.
The pursuit came to a sudden and dramatic end when the tire of the suspect’s vehicle exploded in Kültür Mahallesi Old Industrial Bazaar, forcing the car to come to a halt.
