* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Vero Beach, Florida — On August 16, 2024, at around 2:14 p.m. a deputy from the Indian River County Sheriff's Office (IRCSO) observed a sport bike traveling at an estimated 115 mph in a 45 mph zone on State Road 60 near the Vero Beach Outlets. The deputy activated a radar gun, confirming the speed at 120 mph, and immediately initiated a pursuit. As 22-year-old Austin Schwartz, continued to flee, both IRCSO deputies and Vero Beach police joined the ground chase. Meanwhile, the IRCSO helicopter, HAWK, tracked Schwartz from above, capturing footage of the motorcyclist weaving through traffic and navigating busy roads during peak hours. The dangerous pursuit placed numerous other drivers at risk, according to the sheriff's office. The chase came to a halt when Schwartz clipped the side of a truck at the intersection of 17th Street and Indian River Boulevard, causing him to crash the sport bike. He was promptly taken into custody and booked into the Indian River County Jail on charges of reckless driving and fleeing/eluding law enforcement but was released on a $40,000 bond.

Officer - "Outside of roadrash, what do you have?"

Suspect - "Embarrassment"

[RullXov]

Fleeing because he didn't want a speeding ticket.
As Bugs Bunny would say...What a Maroon.

[clutchitup]

Prob called his dad to get the bail money ready

[sgtpecker]

They take him to great clips for that mugshot?

[Noledad]

He's lucky he didn't end up scattered and splattered.

[tubemember]

Why's his mugshot look like he's about to get a haircut?

[controversyVS]

shorts and a tank top while running from the cops on what looks to be a RSV4... A true squid

Edit* It's a RS660 not a RSV4

[pz]

There are crazy bikers and old bikers, but no crazy old bikers

[Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

Road rash heals but stupidity lingers.

[Meowtownn]

The cam on the heli is really impressive

[Sky-]

I have to say that road rash hurts so much more than people think.

[slowtheplanedown]

Charge Mr Kim for all the support costs including the helicopter.

[McCarthyMedia.]

Then got mad like it wasn't his fault he crashed

[xenabobena]

“Don’t do anything stupid” Well, too late for that!

[Wokko]

In the ICU we used to call motorbikes “donor cycles”.

[srthomp]

Give him 5 years in prison to think about his life choices.

[TributesCarlson-imbe]

You know it’s crazy when the helicopter has a problem catching up to them.🥶

[Nordic-Caveman]

Releasing people on bond is beyond stupid.

[EdumacatedChimp]

Dude was like, "whenever I crash in GTA, it doesn't hurt like this..."
