"Driver, lower all the windows! Driver!" an officer yells before the truck suddenly speeds off.

According to an arrest report, the Denali hit a white Mercedes then continued to flee on the eastbound Palmetto.

The video shows the truck speeding through traffic, narrowly missing other vehicles as it drove on the inside shoulder.

As the Denali approached the Golden Glades Interchange, it crashed into three other vehicles then went onto the wrong side of the road where it hit the box truck, causing the box truck to roll over.

The driver lost control and the truck came to a stop on the grassy shoulder of the entrance ramp of State Road 91 from Northwest 7th Avenue.

The arrest report said the driver got out of the Denali as authorities approached at gunpoint but he refused to stop.

"Let me see your f---ing hands!" an officer shouts at him in the video, before two officers take him into custody.

Authorities arrested the driver, 35-year-old Joseph Samuel Gianino, on multiple charges including aggravated fleeing and eluding causing injury, grand theft of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of a crash and driving with a suspended license.

The report said Gianino was already on probation for fleeing and eluding.
