An incident in Catawba, North Carolina left a Saturn Outlook and several other vehicles destroyed after a county sheriff’s deputy lost control of their Dodge Durango pursuit vehicle at high speed. Incredibly, no one was killed in the incident. The deputy involved failed to activate their police vehicle emergency equipment. The dramatic collision was captured by multiple security cameras.
According to a report from Queen City News, which cites North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. local time on Sherrills Ford Road, near East Bandys Cross Road. The deputy involved, 23-year-old Jarrett Carl Isaac, was traveling north in response to a “domestic-related call.”
Footage of the incident reveals another county sheriff vehicle traveling North at high speed moments before the crash. After the first police SUV passes, a black Ram pickup is seen pulling out of the adjacent Dollar General parking lot, directly into the path of speeding sheriff deputy Isaac.
Isaac responds by swerving to the left, losing control of the vehicle and barreling through an adjacent parking lot, smashing several other vehicles in the process. One customer is seen heading towards the driver’s seat of their pickup just moments before the sheriff SUV smashes into the truck’s rear end, narrowly missing the customer in the process.
The out-of-control Dodge Durango continues forward and broadsides the Saturn Outlook, sending it sideways into an adjacent Toyota. As the dust settles, we see heavy damage to all vehicles involved.
Incredibly, no one was killed in the incident. Isaac was reportedly transported to Catawba Valley Medical Center with minor injuries, while an occupant of one of the vehicles that was struck also reportedly received minor injuries as well…
