Moment Man Fleeing Police Smashes Into Pickup Truck At Full Speed After Jumping Red Light

This is the moment cops pursue a man wanted for attacking a woman in a high-speed vehicle chase before the suspect jumps a red light and smashes into another vehicle at full speed.

Michael Douglas Bishop, aged 29, was taken to hospital in a critical condition after he sped through a red light and smashed into the pickup truck carrying three people and a dog in Marion County, Florida, USA.

The three people were taken to hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries. Both vehicles were heavily damaged in the collision, and the suspect’s car even ended up on its side.

Bishop faces charges of battery by strangulation and aggravated fleeing/eluding after he allegedly attacked a female victim whose identity and relationship to the suspect has not been divulged.

He is accused of choking her, grabbing her by her hair and backhand slapping her inside a vehicle on 26th May. The attack was reportedly so savage that the victim had to play dead to end it.

Thinking he had killed her, Bishop left the scene, prompting the victim to call the police, who located him in his vehicle with the help of a helicopter, from which the subsequent collision was filmed.

Sgt Paul Bloom told local news site ClickOrlando.com: “It was very scary, I was one of the ones that responded out there.

“When I first pulled up, one of the first things I saw lying in the road was a child stroller, so when you see something like that, your worst fears go over.”
