Drunk Driver Smashes Into Pole After Police Spin Him Out

Burien, United States – A police pursuit in the early hours ended with officers spinning out a suspected drunk driver in a stolen car using a PIT manoeuvre in Burien, Washington.

Dashboard and body camera footage released by the King County Sheriff's Office shows patrol cars chasing the vehicle through dark streets with lights flashing, before officers push it into a spin and close in on the driver.

The Burien Police Department carried out the pursuit and arrest at SW Webster Street and 16th Avenue SW in the early morning of October 26, the sheriff's office said.

The man was booked on suspicion of DUI, eluding a police officer, possession of narcotics and possession of a stolen car. Prosecutors charged him with two felonies, possession of a stolen vehicle and attempting to elude police.

"Don't drink and drive. Just don't," the sheriff's office wrote.
