Police north of Toronto have released dramatic video of a car chase that led officers across York Region in pursuit of a Lamborghini SUV that was clocked at speeds in excess of 200 km/h.
York Regional Police (YRP) released the video of the July 7 incident on Friday and said members of its emergency response unit first observed the driver of the white Lamborghini Urus speeding on Highway 407 near Dufferin Street in Vaughan at approximately 12:50 a.m.
The video, taken from the YRP’s air support unit, shows the vehicle on the tolled highway before officers intercept it in a residential area in Markham, near Leslie Street and Summerdale Drive. That’s where the driver of the Lamborghini can be seen maneuvering away from police before the vehicle’s tires are struck by a deflation device deployed by members of YRP’s canine unit.
Despite the damage to the tires, the driver returns to Highway 407 as sparks fly and one tire eventually falls off the vehicle completely.
“Full tire off, from the front. He’s gonna lose it here soon,” an officer inside the police helicopter is heard saying in the video.
The high-speed chase then made its way to Richmond Hill, where police said the suspect was followed into the area of an apartment complex near Red Maple Road and Oneida Crescent. Officers attempted to box in the vehicle, but the suspects rammed their way through the cruisers and escaped, police said.
