Dash camera video shows the moment Florida Highway Patrol troopers conducted a Precision Immobilization Technique on an alleged stolen vehicle during a pursuit earlier this year.
According to FHP, the pursuit began in Deerfield Beach and came to a full stop along the southbound lanes of the Flor
ida Turnpike near the Sunrise Boulevard exit.
During the pursuit, troopers said the driver, identified as Laiken Randolph, slammed into a BSO cruiser and a Coconut Creek Police cruiser but kept going, prompting the pursuit.
Troopers conducted the PIT maneuver, forcing Randolph to crash into a wall near Mile Marker 57.
Video shows moments after the PIT maneuver, the trooper behind Randolph’s truck spun out of control.
7News cameras captured Randolph being taken out of a BSO deputy cruiser in handcuffs and then placed onto a stretcher.
Officials said a 70-year-old innocent driver was caught in the middle of the chaotic pursuit and died.
