URGENT UPDATE: A driver took to the skies in a dramatic escape from police during a chase in Seattle earlier today. Just after noon on September 17, 2023, officers from the Seattle Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle with a stolen license plate near 10th Avenue East and East Boston Street.
As police moved in for a high-risk stop, the driver made a reckless decision, veering into oncoming traffic. In a shocking turn of events, the driver broke through a safety gate and sped onto a partially raised drawbridge, launching the vehicle into the air as it crossed the gap.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with many expressing disbelief at the driver’s audacity. The car landed on the opposite side of the bridge and continued northbound before being discovered severely damaged and unoccupied near Pasadena Place East.
No arrests have been made, and authorities confirmed that the investigation is ongoing. This incident raises serious questions about the risks taken during police pursuits and the lengths individuals will go to evade capture.
The Seattle Police Department is urging anyone with information about the driver or the vehicle to come forward as they continue their search for answers. As this story develops, the implications of such a reckless act remain a topic of concern for the community.
