A policeman gave chase Miami, Florida earlier this month ended with a woman deciding to jump off a ramp into a lake. Dashcam footage released by Florida Highway Patrol this week shows how the later stages of the pursuit unfolded and how the driver managed to climb out of the wrecked car and jump off the road.
Police allege Melina Logan, 27, went to a Honda dealership in South Miami for a test drive a 2024 Civic. She allegedly waited for the salesperson to get out of the car and then drove away, according to WTVJ. Law enforcement spotted the vehicle on Palmetto Expressway later that day and began a pursuit.
Dashcam footage slideshow citizen weaving through traffic at high speed before resorting to hitting the hard road when congestion becomes too heavy. The FHP cruiser was going just fast enough to keep up, even hitting the side of a pickup truck while passing another police car.
The chase came to an end when the Civic crashed into multiple vehicles while going down a ramp. The officers can be seen rushing into the car with their guns drawn. The woman behind the wheel climbed out of the passenger side window with her hands raised. Instead of walking down the concrete wall and surrendering, she jumped into the water.
The authorities used a rescue rope to pull her to shore. She refused so the police went into the water and pulled her out. Logan faces four charges, including aggravated fleeing and eluding and resisting police without violence. I got it. If you want to escape, you will do anything to escape. That’s why it is very dangerous for the police to join the car chase.
