Police Chase Ends In Freeway Carnage

Title card for Season 1 Episode 2 of the BeamNG Drive Movie Series.

**Police Chase Ends In Freeway Carnage** is the second episode of the series and continues where the previous episode left off. In this episode, a police car spots the target - a silver Charger - near Death Hollow Canyon in Utah. The suspect then initiates a police pursuit, causing many crashes along the way.

## ***Summary***

The BeamNG TV News Channel reports that 9 people were killed and 14 more were injured following the devastating chain reaction accident at Matrix Freeway on October 16th. The police have closed off the area, while tow trucks are carrying the wrecks away from the scene. The channel then states that the police are on a lookout for a silver Dodge Charger.

A few weeks later, while meeting up with the driver of a black Oldsmobile at the parking lot near Death Hollow Canyon, Officer Jake spots the chrome Charger. The Charger flees, sparking a chase.

The Season 1 Finale revealed that someone from a short distance had called 911; the dispatcher sent a patrol unit to investigate. It also revealed the reason why Black Widow and Hellhound met up (they were discussing the aftereffects of Johnny's death).

Officer Jake falls behind and requests backup, which Officer Sam responds to. The Charger gets stuck behind a slow red tractor on a one lane bridge, allowing Officer Jake to catch up. The Charger overtakes the tractor once off the bridge, but is forced onto a dirt road by Officer Sam blocking the road. The Charger veers right to avoid a red Gavril T75 Cement Mixer, and Sheriff Barkley turns onto the road to head it off. The Charger races down the road pursued by Officer Jake and Sam. At 12:17 PM, the driver of a rusty red semi truck is blinded by the dust kicked up by the Charger and crashes into Officer Sam, and they both fall off the cliff. The Charger swerves to avoid a white box truck hauling a trailer and jumps onto the road above where Sheriff Barkley sees him. Sheriff Barkley swings around to chase the Charger. Officer Jake jumps up and lands on Sheriff Barkley's hood, causing Sheriff Barkley to crash into a tree. The Charger gets back on the main road, where Officer Garry and an officer in a 200BX Police Interceptor chase him. Sheriff Carlos jumps over a hill and joins the chase. A H25 Vanster Police Transport, a Gavril Grand Marshal Police, and Officer Mark leave the police station to join the chase. Sheriff Carlos attempts to black the Charger but the Charger pushes him off the road and he ramps off a rock and rolls over; Officer Garry is damaged but continues the chase, but the 200BX is disabled. Officer Garry requests backup, and Officer Kade and Officer Guzman join the chase. Officer Garry gets rammed off a cliff by the Charger and crashes onto the ground and drifts into the river. The Charger driver, whose name is revealed to be Hellhound, tells someone to meet him in the tunnel. He cuts off a black Kia Ceed which swerves left to avoid him and comes to a stop in the middle of the oncoming lane; Cindy is unable to stop and T-bones the Ceed, flipping over twice. Officer Kade and Officer Guzman exit the tunnel. Officer Kade pulls up alongside Hellhound; they trade hits until they approach a roadblock formed by the H25, Grand Marshal, and 200BX; Hellhound rams Officer Kade and Officer Kade ramps off an incline and crashes into the dry box trailer of a red Gavril T75 and lands upside down; a red classic Range Rover clips Officer Kade and swerves left, going sideways off a rock. Officer Guzman dodges the roadblock and the three officer join the chase. Officer Mark calls medical assistance for the injured on the freeway and two ambulances leave the hospital. Officer Guzman and Hellhound trade hits until Officer Guzman spins out and smashes sideways into a rock, landing upside down in the middle of the oncoming side. A white Volvo 850R and a silver Audi Avant ramps off Officer Guzman; the Avant lands upside down and the 850R lands right-side up on the oncoming side, where the H25 officer clips it, crashes into a rock, and comes to rest in the ravine. Hellhound cuts off a 8x8 log truck hauling a trailer and the truck stops in the middle of the road. Officer Mark dodges the truck but the Grand Marshal falls off a cliff and comes to rest in the river. Hellhound pushes Officer Mark to the other side off a blue Gavril T75; Officer Mark bounces between the barrier and the truck before getting sucked under the trailer. He is crushed by the wheels and the truck comes to a halt. Officer Paul spots Hellhound entering the tunnel and turns around to chase him. A black Gavril T75 hauling a dry box trailer exits the tunnel as Sheriff Steve and Officer Chester block the tunnel. Officer Paul bumps into Sheriff Steve and they realize Hellhound hid inside the truck that exited the tunnel. The officers chase the truck, but they chase an identical truck as the real truck gets away.

## ***Trivia***

* In terms of release date, this episode was the first of the entire series to have text dialogue for characters, as well as the first to include police chatter (possibly sourced from a Need for Speed game).
	+ In addition, Hellhound was formally introduced in this episode; a dialogue for the character was shown, and said character was asking for some help to evade the police.
* The actual number of casualties (a term used for the total number of deaths and injuries) is currently unknown. Based on the number of crashes, the Police Chase may have caused approximately 15 casualties (likely composed of 11 injuries and 4 deaths, depending on the severity of the accidents).
* According to FrIzErIs, production of this episode took 2 and a half weeks; a total of 150 hours were spent in that time period. Over 400 GB of footage consisting of 582 clips were recorded. 18 vehicles were either damaged or destroyed.
* The original episode featured an ETK 854t police unit with a German police (Polizei) livery, which wouldn't make any sense in real life as the series took place in the United States. This was corrected in the Season 1 Finale, with a generic police livery replacing the Polizei livery.
