A 58-year-old Chinese national was caught by police in Dasmariñas City, Cavite, around 11:30 PM on April 20. Riding a white SUV, he did not stop even when asked to stop by police, resulting in a chase. Police said the incident began after he collided with a jeepney in GMA, Cavite.
According to witness Renato, he was waiting for a booking near a fast food place when he saw the SUV speeding. He said that the police had already stopped it but it still fled and passed through Molino and Salawag. A few minutes later, the vehicle returned and the chase continued.
The suspect ran for 7 kilometers before crashing into the center island on Molino-Paliparan Road. Before that, he had also crashed into a Toyota Rush. According to Police Captain Michelle Bastawang, the driver was caught right there.
