HOWELL TOWNSHIP, MI - A vehicle reported as stolen drove over the center line and went through a red light while trying to evade a Michigan State Police trooper, according to footage from the trooper's in-car camera.

The video shows the moment the trooper used a bumping tactic known as a precision immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver, to stop the vehicle, ultimately sending it off the road.

Police were called about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3, to a report of subjects attempting to break into a vehicle in the 2800 block of Ontario Court in Howell Township in Livingston County, according to a press release from Michigan State Police.

The subjects were reported to have left in a white vehicle, police said. A responding trooper witnessed a white vehicle leaving the area and attempted to pull it over, but it kept going.

Police said the trooper pursued the vehicle for about two miles and the suspect vehicle attempted to enter westbound I-96 from Pinckney Road.

There, the video footage shows the trooper struck the vehicle on its right rear side, causing it to go off the road and down into a grassy ditch. Police said the vehicle rolled over.

Although the speed of the chase was not immediately available, Michigan State Police Sgt. Mike Foley said PIT maneuvers are only done at speeds less than 40 mph.

Of the three men located in the car - a 20-year-old, 19-year-old and 18-year-old from Lansing - one suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital. The other two suspects were lodged at the Livingston County Jail.

The 2007 Mercury Milan had been reported stolen out of Lansing, police said.
