Mercedes Chase Ends in Border Abandonment

A high-speed chase erupted in Derry Saturday after police pulled over a Mercedes tied to recent trouble—only for the driver, sporting a flat tire, to bolt at breakneck speed. The car slammed into another vehicle, thankfully without injuries, then narrowly avoided further collisions as officers deployed a stinger and one officer drew his weapon in response to perceived danger. The Mercedes was eventually abandoned just across the border in Donegal, prompting an investigation by the Police Ombudsman into the firearm use. Authorities are now collaborating with Irish police to track down the driver and are urgently seeking public dashcam footage or tips—considered a miracle that no one was seriously hurt.
