Four Florida teens including a football player died in the high-speed police chase in Florida Four teenagers in a stolen SUV were killed after their vehicle lost control in a high-speed cop chase. The pursuit began when the Honda CRV taken from Gainesville, Florida, was picked up by a license plate reader. A deputy with the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office followed the SUV and said there were multiple people riding it. The chase on April 20 reached up to 111mph.
A trooper then made contact with the SUV and observed ‘that some of the occupants appeared to be wearing ski masks’, according to the highway patrol. The SUV slowed down upon contact and the trooper used a ‘Precision Immobilization Technique on the fleeing Honda to stop the threat created by the fleeing suspect’, stated the highway patrol. The SUV then rolled over and struck a cement pole.
