Escaped Inmate's Flying Car Crash Looks Right Out Of A Movie
 

The crash is so spectacular it looks like a Hollywood stunt --
but escaped inmate Kevonte Austin is facing very real
consequences.

Austin, 18, managed to avoid serious injury on Tuesday when the
stolen pickup truck he was driving went airborne during a police
chase in Dixie Inn, Louisiana, Webster Parish Sheriff Gary
Sexton told the Huffington Post.

The truck landed on an occupied car in a parking lot.
Miraculously, the woman in the other vehicle was not injured as
well.

“We are all surprised it turned out as well as it did,” Sexton
said.

Seriously, action movies have nothing on this:

The trouble started when a sheriff’s deputy pulled over the
driver of the truck for speeding ? with Austin sitting in the
passenger seat. While the driver spoke with the deputy outside
the vehicle as a “decoy,” Austin moved behind the wheel and sped
off, according to Sexton.

The suspect, who weeks earlier had ditched a work-release
program after his shift, then led the law on a 50-mile pursuit
at speeds up to 115 miles an hour, running several officers off
the road, the sheriff said.

While trying to avoid a roadblock, Austin lost control of the
truck, the sheriff said. He plunged down, then up a grass
divider, hurtling through the air until the pickup plowed into
the parked car.

The drama didn’t end there. Austin ran to another occupied car
and tried to grab a woman before he was apprehended, the sheriff
said. As of Wednesday afternoon, he remained in a Webster Parish
jail charged with attempted first-degree murder of a police
officer, aggravated flight, attempted car-jacking and possession
of a stolen vehicle. He would be transferred to his previous
facility in Caddo Parish ? where he was doing time for car theft
and a probation violation ? after he was fully processed, Sexton
said.

The original driver, 23-year-old Durioki Hawkins, faces charges
of harboring a fugitive and possession of a stolen vehicle.
