Armed juveniles flip stolen car onto Seattle police cruiser: video

Newly released dashcam and bodycam videos have captured the shocking moment three armed juveniles crashed a stolen car, causing it to flip and smash onto a police cruiser.

The dramatic incident took place on Dec. 7 just before 7:30 p.m. in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, where the juveniles were approaching a traffic stop in the stolen vehicle, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) said. The video was released today. 

The stolen car was being driven on a damaged tire rim caused by a spike strip deployed by another police agency, the SPD said, before it collided with the back of a Toyota at the 6300 block of Swift Avenue South. The traffic stop is about five miles south of Downtown Seattle.
