Fiery crash after driver in stolen car flees from police

Michigan police have released dramatic dash cam footage of a stolen car that hurtled into the side of a lorry after a high-speed chase.

The driver had fled from authorities, travelling at such a high speed that police supervisors called off the pursuit. Seconds later, the collision happened.

Footage shows the stolen car in flames, partially lodged under the semi-tractor trailer. Detroit firefighters removed the trapped 26-year-old driver from the vehicle. The man was arrested and was taken to the hospital with broken bones.
