We’re not sure if O.J. just gave people inspiration or what but there is ALWAYS a high-speed police chase going on somewhere in Los Angeles. Maybe it’s the overabundance of flat earth in the state but MAN do those folks love to run from the cops.

Anywho, yesterday’s installment of the non-compliant driver comes from Simi Valley where LAPD officers carried a lead-foot driver away like he was an expensive floor rug or campground sleeping bag.

According to ABC7, the chase began in San Fernando Valley and the vehicle was clocked by air support doing 100 MPH through residential streets before coming to a violent end when the car struck a concrete lamp post. We have no idea how the driver survived but if nothing else this should be a commercial for seatbelts because if he wasn’t wearing one then the cops would probably be scraping pieces of his flesh off the street. After the car impacts the lamp post, the driver can be seen slowly emerging from the vehicle, as if he’s injured. He then lays on the ground and is taken into custody.

Press play down bottom to have a look at the harrowing chase, the heart-stopping crash, and the funny arrest. What was this guy thinking?
