Troopers arrest brothers after back-to-back high-speed chases
By: -----
Seattle, WA - The Washington State Patrol (WSP) said troopers arrested two brothers who led them on separate pursuits Wednesday.
Authorities said it started when they tried to pull over a car for a traffic violation on I-90 near Preston, but the driver took off.
WSP car dash cam video shows that as troopers pursued the vehicle, a silver Infiniti drove in between the vehicle and the patrol car. The Infiniti began weaving back and forth.
Troopers caught up with the first car and bumped it, in a pit maneuver, in an effort to get it to stop. However, the car continued, eventually losing a tire and ending up facing the wrong way on an I-90 off-ramp.
The Infiniti raced around the vehicle and sped off westbound on I-90. The now wrong-way vehicle headed down I-90, eventually spinning out and landing in a ditch.
Troopers arrested the 21-year-old driver. They found a woman passenger with a baby on her lap, but troopers said both were OK.
Meanwhile, Washington State Department of Transportation cameras spotted the Infiniti on I-90 in Bellevue.
Troopers pursued it into Seattle, where the car exited and came to a stop near Swift and Albro streets.
The passenger and the driver were arrested. The driver turned out to be the 21-year-old’s 18-year-old brother.
