Horry County Police on the Hunt for Suspect After Thrilling Car Chase
Highway 501 Becomes the Scene of a Dramatic Pursuit
In a day that turned ordinary traffic into a suspense-filled chase, Horry County found itself at the center of a police pursuit that kicked off yesterday evening. It all began around 6:30 p.m. when officers attempted to stop a vehicle that had been reported stolen. Instead of pulling over, the driver of the car chose to make a run for it, leading police on a chase that would send pulses racing!
Chase Takes Off!
The police initially spotted the suspect’s vehicle on Highway 378. When they attempted to pull the car over, the driver refused to yield. This refusal led to a high-speed chase as the suspect sped down Highway 501, leaving officers in pursuit. The atmosphere was surely charged with excitement as onlookers witnessed what turned into a dramatic scene.
Ending in Carolina Forest
The chase came to a stop near Carolina Forest Boulevard when police deployed stop sticks—those spiky devices designed to puncture tires and bring vehicles to a halt. The tactic proved effective, causing the suspect to abandon the vehicle and flee on foot. Can you imagine the adrenaline rush for both responders and bystanders watching the action unfold?
Community Safety Assured
Despite the thrilling nature of the chase, the Horry County Police Department (HCPD) reassured the public that there is no ongoing risk to the community following the incident.
