Ram TRX Decimated In Georgia Police Chase

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

In a social media livestream, the owner of a Ram TRX bragged about how he could “eat up” Georgia State Patrol troopers if they ever came for him. It didn’t take long for him to try making good on that promise, only things didn’t quite turn out how the guy fantasized. He, in fact, was the one who got eaten up by his own horrible driving skills.

15-year-old in a stolen C6 Corvette runs from California police.

The guy rightly predicted one thing: his illegal window tint would trigger an attempt at a legal traffic stop. A trooper activated his lights to pull over the high-performance Mopar truck, but our suspect decided to run instead.

He might have chosen a twisting, winding two-lane road in Atlanta to get away from the trooper for a specific reason. After all, in the livestream the guy bragged about his truck having “all-wheel drive” which apparently means it can do whatever he wants.

We’ve run across this attitude before, that sending power to all four wheels on a vehicle automatically makes it superior. But we know from firsthand experience when you lose traction in a ride with all-wheel or four-wheel drive, it doesn’t matter that power is going to all of the wheels: you’ll still slide out of control.

It appears that’s what happened to this guy. You see in the footage the trooper finally catches up to the fleeing Ram TRX because it crashed out, probably into the trees lining one side of the road. It doesn’t really look like a TRX anymore, more closely resembling some lasagna that was put through a blender.

While it seems obvious, we still have to state it: the suspect didn’t survive this horrific crash. So much for bragging about how great your Mopar is. No vehicle makes up for poor driving skills.
