Tampa police released a 32-second video compilation Saturday afternoon showing portions of a high-speed pursuit that ended with a driver plowing into a crowded Ybor City sidewalk.
The collision killed four people and injured more than a dozen others.
The footage mostly consists of images from a police helicopter that tracked the Toyota as it sped south on Interstate 75 before looping through downtown and heading down Seventh Avenue into Ybor City.

Police said the helicopter spotted the Toyota about 12:30 a.m. racing another car in the Seminole Heights area. The helicopter followed as it moved south along the interstate. Florida Highway Patrol troopers spotted the car near Palm and North Nebraska avenues and began a chase.
One trooper tried to stop the car on Seventh Avenue by striking its rear end with his patrol cruiser, to no avail. Shortly thereafter, the car sped into Ybor City before crashing into the front of the Bradley’s on 7th nightclub.
