A TRUCK DRIVER who zoomed to escape a police search then led them on a wild 20-kilometre chase during which he hit over 20 vehicles and slightly injured three policemen now faces five charges, TV Channel 7 said this evening (Dec. 4).

 

Pol.LCpl. Peerapat Ongphudee, head of the traffic group on duty at Bang Na expressway, said he noticed that the truck looked suspicious as it had a sticker of a neighbouring country’s flag on it with the driver, later identified as Mr. Chainarong, 28, having dyed blond hair so he hailed it to stop and asked for his driver’s licence.

 

However the driver said he did not have one and quickly sped off, but before he did so Pol.LCpl. Peerapat said had got whiffs of drugs.

 

The chase that ensued ended near BTS Thippawan station, Samrong Nuea, Samut Prakan city, continuing even after police had shot the truck’s tyres as he was still able to drive on.

He looks like he will be popular in jail, where he will have lots of spare time to ponder how he will pay for the 20 vehicles that got damaged in the chase.

And ponder whether he should pick-up the bar of soap someone dropped next to him in the showers.

New Griswold movie?🙃🙃

even after police had shot the truck’s tyres as he was still able to drive on.

 

Very dangerous and stupid to try to shoot out tyres, especially on the heavy truck tyres. The bullets are more likely to bounce off and hit bystanders. They rarely penetrate especially the steel wire lined tyres.

Although, as that dictionary example showing its usage in this sense indicates, it should be "zoomed off" not just "zoomed" by itself.

 

So in normal usage, it would be:

 

"A TRUCK DRIVER who zoomed off to escape a police search ..."
