When you think of the wildest police chases of all time, things like the OJ Simpson White Bronco chase immediately come to mind. While that case was extremely high profile and widely watched, this decade-old flaming semi truck chase just be the most epic police chase ever.
After stealing a lumber truck from a restaurant’s parking lot, a man took officers on a wild ride through a Dallas community.
When cops attempted to stop the truck by shooting out it’s tires, it only kicked things up a notch.
The grinding rims eventually caught fire, ignited the tires as well as some of the lumber on the trailer.
Rubber fireballs are launched at officers as the burning tires fly off the rig.
Eventually, the lumber load breaks loose and is scattered over the road, even hitting a school bus with students on it.
A sprinting officer finally catches up to the driver and is able to take him down and put an end to the 90 minutes chase.
It turned out that the man who stole the truck, Burnice Wilson, was a convicted felon and was sentenced to 99 years in prison for the wild stunt.
Without a doubt, one of the craziest police chases of all time.
