WATCH: Suspect in Dayton carjacking arrested following multi-county chase
Jul. 11—A suspect in a Dayton armed robbery was taken into custody following a chase Thursday. Around 10 a.m., Dayton officers responded to Five Oaks Avenue after a person's vehicle was stolen at gunpoint, according to police. Officers located the vehicle and began a pursuit. Dash camera footage showed police following the suspect through residential neighborhoods in Dayton. While on Riverside Drive, the suspect temporarily drove on the wrong side of the road and into oncoming traffic. Emergency scanner traffic indicated the pursuit continued into downtown Dayton before the suspect got onto Interstate 75 and headed north into Miami County. Speeds reached approximately 70 mph, according to initial reports. The chase ended after police used a precision immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver. The suspect was then taken into custody. The pursuit lasted approximately 24 minutes and stop sticks were used before the vehicle got onto I-75 North, according to police. No injuries were reported, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

One Of 19 Ferrari F40 LM Supercars Gets Sideswiped In Highway Hit-And-Run

View post: Amazon is selling a 'powerful' $200 electric pressure washer for $100, and shoppers say it 'gets the job done' Trucker Allegedly Performed PIT Maneuver There are few things scarier than losing control of your car unexpectedly, and when it happens in a car that is notoriously tricky to drive, on a busy highway, it's downright terrifying. It's an ordeal that well-known (but anonymous) Utah-based car collector @supercar_ron reportedly underwent on Saturday, June 28, at around 9:58 PM, while driving his Ferrari F40 LM. In a post on Instagram (embedded at the bottom of this article), he claims that a dark-colored semi-truck pulling a large tanker 'essentially performed a PIT maneuver' on him. 'I was focused on controlling the car and staying alive,' he wrote. 'As a result, I wasn't able to get the name of the company on the side of the truck.' 0:07 / 0:09 Walmart is selling an 'amazing' $47 tire inflator for $25, and shoppers say it's 'portable and efficient' Walmart is selling an 'amazing' $47 tire inflator for $25, and shoppers say it's 'portable and efficient' Watch More Very Little To Go On His posts reveal that the carbon-fiber-and-Kevlar body has been ripped on the driver's side, from roughly halfway down the door and side skirt, all the way to the tail of the car. Parts of the rear bumper have been torn away, but the most severe damage to the drivability of the car is at the left-rear wheel, which has been heavily mangled inside the blown tire. There does not appear to be any obvious paint transfer from the offending vehicle, and all we know is that 'Ron' was traveling 'southbound on I-15 near 1600 North on the border of Orem and Lindon.' With no other details available, @supercar_ron is offering a reward for information leading to the identification of the truck and its driver. It's Certainly Worth Fixing This Rare Supercar Whatever figure the insurance company gets, the costly repairs will certainly be worth carrying out for an icon of this significance. While a 'regular' Ferrari F40 is worth anything from $1.4 million to over $3 million, depending on condition, mileage, and provenance, the rarest and most revered F40 LM can fetch as much as $6 million. This particular example won't have been worth that much, but even at half the value, it's an always appreciating classic that will doubtless be sent to Ferrari's Classiche department at some point. More importantly, 'Ron' loves driving his cars and sharing them with people – 'It's gonna rust, it's gonna fade, but the memories you make are gonna last forever,' he says – so he's definitely going to want to get back behind the wheel again soon.

Man arrested after hitting deputy's vehicle, eluding authorities
MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) – What began as a traffic stop turned into a high-speed pursuit before ending with a PIT maneuver. The Mesa County Sheriff's Office originally attempted the stop around 12:41 a.m., Wednesday, when a deputy witnessed a car going about 75 miles per hour near 30 and Patterson roads.

Three teens arrested after leading police on 100 mph chase in Livingston County
Three teens were arrested after leading police on a high-speed chase last week in Livingston County, Michigan. At about 3 a.m. on June 20, deputies attempted to stop a 2015 Toyota Camry going eastbound on Interstate 96 near Mason Road in Howell Township, according to the sheriff's office. Investigators determined the vehicle was stolen from Grand Rapids days before the chase. The sheriff's office said the driver took off, prompting a police chase through Howell and Pinckney, reaching 100 mph. The sheriff's office released dashcam video of the chase. Deputies stopped the vehicle in Hamburg Township after using a PIT maneuver. Three people were inside the car, identified as two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old from the Grand Rapids and Kent County area. The sheriff's office said two of the teens were on a tether at the time and had "multiple financial transaction devices that did not belong to them," according to a news release.
