West Cobb, GA - Cobb County authorities released a dashcam video on Tuesday that captured an intense chase in West Cobb.
The driver of a bobtail semi truck led Cobb Police on a high-speed chase through West Cobb on June 24, ending with the suspect facing a long list of charges, authorities said.
A bobtail is a tractor-trailer without the trailer attached.
The incident began when 911 callers reported the tractor-trailer driving recklessly and nearly colliding with other vehicles.
Cobb County Sheriff’s Office said officers from Precinct 5 responded swiftly to the calls, determined to stop the dangerous driver.
Authorities said an officer spotted the truck on Dallas Highway and attempted a traffic stop. But the driver fled onto Barrett Parkway, maneuvering through both northbound and southbound lanes in an attempt to evade capture.
The chase stopped when the driver crashed into a fence, nearly hitting a home.
