Video posted by Only in Dade showed multiple officers surrounding the truck with weapons drawn as it crashes. A man is seen trying to get out of the passenger seat of the truck and succeeds as the truck keeps moving.
Police said multiple vehicles were damaged before Prater finally stopped and was taken into custody.
