A mother in Arkansas led police on a high-speed chase with her child in the car … she crashed and the vehicle rolled over, but they both escaped unharmed … and it’s all on video.
Footage shows the police pursuit earlier this month in Joiner, AR, where cops say 23-year-old Thalia Jones refused to pull over for state troopers.
Police tried a P.I.T. maneuver and Jones’ car veered off the street, drove over some grass, crossed back over the road and rolled near a roadside ditch.
With the car upside down, Jones opened the door and her 3-year-old-son ran towards police as state troopers told him, “You’re OK. Come. Come right here, baby.”
A member of law enforcement held the child and comforted him during the aftermath of what was miraculously not a deadly crash.
Jones was charged with speeding, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, and child endangerment … and a trooper at the crash scene told her, “That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. You could have killed your own child.”
