“The chase continued northbound on Richmond Highway at speeds up to 63 mph. As other deputies arrived to assist in the area of Hospital Center Boulevard, Deputy Newman performed a textbook pursuit immobilization technique, or PIT, by placing his front passenger quarter panel against the driver’s side rear quarter panel of the Toyota. The PIT caused the Toyota to spin out, while Sergeant J.W. Hutcheson and Deputy S.M. Eastman moved in to seal off any escape routes.”
