A heart-stopping moment was captured on video when police suddenly deployed spike strips right in front of a moving vehicleβwith the camera rolling the entire time.
The driver and passengers can be heard gasping in shock as the metal spikes are tossed across the road, just seconds before they reach the scene. Tires screech, adrenaline kicks in, and chaos unfolds in real time.
It turns out the spikes were intended for a suspect fleeing in a high-speed chaseβbut the timing and placement had everyone on edge.
Viewers are calling it one of the most intense moments caught on dashcam:
βThey were inches from shredding our tires too!β
βThat couldβve ended so badlyβ¦β
Thankfully, no injuries were reportedβbut the close call is going viral fast and raising questions about how tactical decisions like this are made.
