Bizarre Dallas Police Chase 
The backstory:
Dallas firefighters initially responded to reports of a smoking car and a possible fire around 2 a.m. Monday near Oak Lawn Avenue and Hi-Line Drive.
They found a white Jeep Grand Waggoneer SUV with deployed airbags and a folded front left wheel.
When the firefighters tried to conduct a welfare check on the driver, he drove away in the damaged SUV. The firefighters called the police to help.
A slow-speed chase ensued with the SUV’s front end tilting and sparking from the folded wheel. The driver went down multiple Dallas roads, making several U-turns before finally pulling into a parking lot on Oak Lawn Avenue.
The driver failed a field sobriety test at the scene. He was given a breath test at the jail and the results were more than twice the legal limit.
