| Terrifying moment teen makes shocking move while speeding at 113mph | |
| 2024-10-04 | |
Stunning footage captured the terrifying episode unfolding on September 17 when Sam Dutcher, 18, was driving late at night through the streets of West Fargo, Minnesota. Dutcher told WDAY-TV he realized he was in danger when he was speeding through an intersection, and thought: 'Hey, this thing is accelerating, and my foot is not on the gas.' As the situation escalated, Dutcher called 911, who scrambled several Minnesota State Patrol cars to chase him down and speak to the teen on the phone as he was behind the wheel. Clay County Deputy Zach Johnson was one of the cops who pursued Dutcher after his car took control and accelerated him through an array of highways, streets and intersections, travelling for at least 30 miles in total. In footage shared by the sheriff's department, Johnson can be heard asking Dutcher: 'If you hit the brakes, nothing happens?' As Dutcher struggled to explain what was happening while panic set in, Johnson continued: 'Is the accelerator stuck down?... Are you able to push the e-brake and just lock em up?' Dutcher said nothing was working, including attempts to turn the car off or put it in neutral - all while he had to keep his focus on the road. | |

| #9 I don't know man. 100mph+ through an urban environment while doing coms in a foookin Civic? At that speed we're looking at all this happening within about 15 minutes*. MF's at Honda should offer him a tryout for their F1 team. If I were a local mil recruiter, I'd shoot him a line, "My man, have you considered MH6 Little Birds?" *BTW, excellent response time and solution arc. I mean, that Trooper not only had to be/get in front, but get up to a speed that the initial contact wasn't a fooking mess. Yes, that's a high-5 moment all around. |

| #6 Hey, pop the clutch went through my mind. Been having fun trying to solve this problem during free time today, because modern vehicles are closer to Johnny Cabs than a an '80 Firebird. I'm not sure other than what the kid did, or some sort of James Bond move. I'm actually impressed a modern day 18 year old could handle a vehicle at that speed. |

| #4 Said he tried, my first thought, but its ally by-wire anymore. Probably one of those stupid little dials things too. Here that, children? Don't use your car to do research on The Clintons. |
