This report covers a midnight drunk driving crackdown escape.

A driver ignored police signals to stop during a sobriety check and fled the scene.

The suspect was ultimately caught after being pursued and cornered by three patrol cars.

This took place in Haeundae-gu, Busan, on October 2.

Police were conducting a late-night DUI checkpoint.

A vehicle ignored the stop signal and drove right past.

Police confirmed the direction of the escape, hopped into a patrol car, and immediately gave chase.

They also requested support from nearby patrol units.

With a total of three patrol cars involved in the pursuit, the fleeing vehicle still refused to stop.

In response, one patrol car moved in a zig-zag pattern in front of the vehicle to prevent it from getting past and forced it to slow down.

Other patrol cars blocked off escape routes from the surrounding area.

With nowhere left to go, the vehicle ultimately had no choice but to come to a stop.

Police also administered a breathalyzer test to the driver of the fleeing vehicle.

The result was just as expected.

It was confirmed to be at the level for license suspension.

It was reported that this driver even had a prior record of drunk driving and ultimately had their license revoked.
