ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – After a lengthy car chase on New Year’s Day, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has released footage showing what exactly happened.
According to the OCSO, the incident kicked off after a deputy tried to pull over a Toyota Corolla that ran a red light near Silver Star Road and Hiawassee Drive.
However, the vehicle instead fled the area, sparking a chase where a helicopter tracked the Corolla to Powers Drive near Clarcona Ocoee Road.
“Multiple deputies who were receiving location information from the helicopter attempted to stop the car, but the driver continued to flee,” a release from the OCSO reads.
