Newly released police body camera footage shows Enid police shifting from high-speed chase to rescuing two teenage suspects from a flipped car. In the video, an officer jumps from his car and sprints toward a car that he was chasing just seconds ago through the streets of Enid. The drivers hit a concrete barrier and went airborne, flipping the car and setting it on fire. The officer hopped on top of the car and busted the windows. As his fellow officers showed up, they helped him pull the two suspects from the car, lowering him into the window he had just broken. Switching from a pursuit to a rescue is challenging, Enid police Lt. Eric Holzclaw said. “It changed that now we have a car that's on fire. We have people trapped inside. We have to get them out,” he said. Yet the officers still had to be vigilant. They didn't know if the people inside were armed or their conditions. “They still have to be safe. You don't who is in the car. Had to also clear the scene make sure no weapons pointed at them,” Holzclaw said. The two teens were taken to the hospital.
