A
highway patrol vehicle was speeding through the shoulder of the road when the vehicle ahead suddenly reversed and stopped.

When the police approach and knock on the window, they run out again, then turn behind the wheel, squeeze between the stopped vehicles, and drive backwards to flee.

The patrol car gave chase, but the vehicle sped away, hitting another patrol car that blocked the road in the process.

After another 500 meters, they found an abandoned vehicle on the shoulder of the road with the door open, and all occupants had fled.

During the chase, which lasted nearly 40 minutes, the vehicle fled about 150 kilometers at speeds of over 60 kilometers per hour.

[Police official: When I checked the car, I saw that it was a stolen vehicle, chased from behind, and had to pull over, so I put a traffic brake on it.]

In the course of his flight, he rammed eight vehicles and a patrol car one after another, and two police officers were also injured.

Those caught by the police were three teenage high school students.

On the night of the 8th, he stole an unlocked passenger car in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province, and was investigated for driving around the Jeonnam area without a license.

The men, who are from different schools, reportedly met each other while they were admitted to a hospital in Gwangju.

Police arrested the three on suspicion of special theft and driving without a license.
