Slowest Car Chase Ever? On The Run At 10mph

A suspected drug dealer found himself swarmed by a SWAT team after leading police on a snail's-pace car chase through parts of Texas.

Footage shows his vehicle being rammed as officers brought the two-hour pursuit to a crashing end.

The chase started in west Fort Worth at speeds of around 50mph, but the white Nissan then slowed down to barely 10mph, slow enough for the driver to pull off his shirt.

The man, named as 42-year-old Joe Gonzales, spent more than an hour talking to the police on a mobile phone, with a local television station reporting that he had told them he was scared.

TV footage shows the car crawling along with its hazard lights on.

The chase moved through to Arlington, with the car jumping kerbs and weaving through traffic.

It was only when Gonzales started driving the wrong way and returned to the interstate highway that police their lost patience.

A SWAT truck sped up alongside the car and smashed into it, sending it into a short spin before crashing into the central reservation.

Heavily-armed officers then approached, with Gonzales being pulled to the ground as he tried to escape through a window.

He was taken away in a stretcher.

Police said a considerable amount of methamphetamine was found inside the car and Gonzales now faces charges for evading arrest and possessing a controlled substance.
