Bodycam footage released by law enforcement shows the dramatic moments a suspect attempted to flee police during a high-speed chase in Kansas City, Missouri. The incident began on December 21, 2025, when officers pulled the suspect over for driving without headlights.

What started as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated. The suspect attempted to evade law enforcement, leading to a Missouri State Highway Patrol-performed PIT maneuver that stopped his red truck on the interstate. In a desperate bid to escape, the suspect exited the vehicle and jumped approximately 30 feet over a roadway barrier into a wooded area.

Despite the fall, the suspect continued running, though a trooper briefly grabbed his shirt, which tore during the chase. Minutes later, Kansas City Police Department officers apprehended the individual without any injuries reported to either party.

The footage highlights the intensity and risks involved in high-speed chases and the coordination between highway patrol and city police in safely ending dangerous situations. Authorities praised officers for their quick action and careful handling of the incident while ensuring public safety along the interstate.
