caught on dash cam is this one, when police pursue a 15-foot limousine going down the highway backward. april 22nd, 2006, west chester county, new york. trooper todd boemer is busy patrolling interstate 684. i was conducting radar enforcement when i saw a large limo, white limo coming northbound at a high rate of speed. the vehicle was going 124 miles per hour. the officer gives chase as the driver tears down the interstate. officer boemer is left to wonder why. in my mind, what does he have in the vehicle? who s in the vehicle? a dead body, a gun, drugs, whatever? in a neighboring township trooper sean kelly hears the call for assistance. i was in a position where i could assist him.
i was north of his location, and there was a good chance i d be able to intercept the vehicle. trooper kelly enters the interstate and spots the runaway limo. he actually was passing cars over the yellow lines, and he actually passed a number of cars right in front of me. then something finally gives. i wasn t sure what the smoke was. i didn t know if it was transmission or whatever. i didn t know if it was coming from his car. the limousine s transmission blows and it seems the culprit has finally run out of options, but just when the troopers think the chase is over, the driver finds another gear that works reverse. yeah, he did it backwards. the people on the road, i don t know what was going through their mind. you would think you re filming an episode of bullitt or some type of cop show. his only possible way out at that point was to utilize the entrance ramp to exit the interstate, and that s what he did.
