On the highway, the driver encounters heavy traffic, as this chase occurred in broad daylight. Weaving through slowly moving vehicles, and onto the shoulder, the driver hits cones and, eventually, gets jammed between the barrier and a school bus. While the impact doesn’t seem violent from the camera car’s perspective, if there were any children on the bus, it was likely a frightening ordeal for the unbelted passengers.
The driver eventually squeezes past a taxi through a construction zone, which helps them lose the cops. The video ends in the Bronx with the camera car still driving dangerously through traffic, but with no police officers in view. We have reached out to the New York Police Department for comment on this video, and are awaiting a response. The content appears to belong to a genre of streaming videos in which drivers post footage of themselves fleeing from police, in much the same way as they might post a video of escaping cops in the game Grand Theft Auto.
