MUSKEGON, Mich. — Michigan State Police (MSP) released dash cam video of a pursuit that ended with a horrific crash in Muskegon earlier this month.

The crash happened on the night of June 16 at Peck Street and East Holbrook.

Troopers say they tried to a stop a vehicle that was reportedly stolen from Kent County but the driver failed to comply, initiating a pursuit.

We’re told a second cruiser was directed to assist when it collided with the suspect vehicle. The first cruiser was not involved in the crash.

MSP says two Muskegon-area juveniles were inside the suspect vehicle. Both of them were hospitalized as well.

A Grand Haven couple is credited with helping pull the two troopers from the cruiser, which had caught fire after the crash.
