A person suspected of shooting and killing a deputy in California was involved in a dramatic high-speed chase that ended with a collision with a car, as captured in riveting video footage.

The video reveals the suspect hurtling down the 210 Freeway in San Bernardino County at over 150 mph. The motorcyclist can be seen dodging traffic and even driving against the flow at times before colliding with a vehicle at approximately 1:35 p.m. The impact sends the suspect flying through the air, before he lands on his back, skidding across the road while pieces of his motorcycle are strewn across the pavement.

Soon after the crash, officers converged on the scene and apprehended the man. Footage shows him sitting up with a neck brace before being placed on a gurney and airlifted to a medical facility.

The incident took place on the eastbound lanes of the freeway near Exit 56 in Ontario, as reported by FOX 11.

The armed suspect was fleeing after law enforcement were called to a domestic violence incident involving a woman in Rancho Cucamonga at around 12:37 p.m., the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said.

⁠⁠The perpetrator allegedly shot at police and one deputy – identified as Deputy Andrew Nunez — was struck and airlifted to the hospital. He later died from his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.

After the shooting, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office paid tribute to their fallen colleague.

“Deputy Nunez served with unwavering commitment, courage and deep compassion for the community he vowed to protect,” a sheriff’s office statement reads. “His bravery and sacrifice reflect a life dedicated to safeguarding others, even at the greatest cost. Such devotion will remain forever etched in our hearts.”
