WALKER, Mich. — Walker police officers say a traffic stop turned into a very slow-speed chase, ending when the suspect's car collided with a cruiser.

And we mean slow.

Officers tell FOX 17 the vehicle was traveling at less than 15mph at some points.

You can see from the video our viewer sent in the chase drew some attention.

The suspects were boxed in by cruisers as they traveled south on Wilson Ave near Lake Michigan Dr. The vehicle hit the cruiser, causing minor damage.

A third person was also detained, but released at the scene.
