OKLAHOMA CITY -- A routine traffic stop turned into a high-speed chase in south Oklahoma City.
A sheriff's deputy attempted to pull over a woman when she took off leading police through parts of rural Midwest City.
The chase started near I-40 in Midwest City, went along East Stanley Draper Drive and ended in Cleveland County off Franklin Road near Lake Thunderbird.
Police deployed stop sticks at the start of the chase and the suspect lost several tires, but continued to flee. The chase reached speeds over 80 mph.
The car was riding on rims and eventually went off the street near the end of a road. Police used a fire extinguisher on the tires, which were smoking throughout the chase.
No one was injured during the pursuit.
Police were able to arrest the suspect. It is unclear why the suspect was originally pulled over."

Apparently 3 of the 4 tires were toast and she still hit speeds of at least 50 mph. No one injured, but some close calls. Looks like they pulled out a middle-aged blonde.

To be honest, I have never seen an Audi getaway (other then the Transporter 2&3). If you have any videos of it, please post them.

On the other hand, there was a show called World's Wildest Police chases. There was a guy that had a W140 S-class and they could not stop him. Several police cruisers hit him and he was able to keep going. Might have been 60 miles, but it didn't give out until he lost control.

Seen another one where the guy was driving a Tank...he was pretty much unstoppable.

I was referring to the threads about the RS6 loaded with hash, the R8 one as well as repossessed Q7 which the police possessed and are now using as a police car. No videos, but there the threads have been posted with pics on GCF.
