Horrifying police chase video has captured a thief driving a stolen
California cop car jumping out at around 46 mph, killing him.

California Highway Patrol officers were initially called to reports of a
reckless driver on Highway 5 near Castaic just before noon on Tuesday.

The suspect, who has yet to be identified, then crashed his own Toyota
Corolla into another vehicle � and somehow jumped into a responding police
cruiser and raced away.

A Fox 11 news chopper followed the 90-minute chase, with one of the stolen
cruiser�s tires popping off at around 77 mph after running over police
spike strips.

While still going around 46mph, the stolen car�s door suddenly opened �
and the suspect leaped out onto the road.

As his feet touched the ground, he immediately slammed backward � with the
local station freezing the moment his head slammed into the highway.

Despite officers attempting �life-saving measures� for the driver�s �major
injuries,� he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, the CHP said.

After the fatal leap, the abandoned cop car was seen knocking down a
utility pole before coming to a stop in a ditch on the side of the road.

The highway patrol is now investigating how the late suspect was able to
drive off with the responding officer�s car.

�I do not know what happened in this circumstance, but it is standard
procedure� for cruisers to be locked when left running in such cases, CHP
Officer Alec Pereyda told Fox 11 at the scene.

A major concern would be suspects being able to access firearms inside the
vehicles, the force�s rep said.

�Luckily, they did not become unlocked in the patrol vehicle, and he was
not able to gain access to those,� Pereyda said.
