Evansville Police have released dash cam video that shows a suspect’s SUV taking off from a traffic stop.

As we reported, it happened Tuesday afternoon on Highway 41.

The traffic stop was at the Circle K at Lynch, and the crash was at the St. George intersection.

Police say the SUV crashed into a semi, killing 24-year-olds Haley Crumb and Brent McKinney.

As the SUV speeds off, video shows officers rushing to their cars, but police say they never engaged in a chase.

“Officers never indicated that it was a pursuit,” said EPD Sgt. Anthony Aussieker. “Once officers moved out onto 41 they actually disengaged their lights and sirens.”

The video goes on to show one officer drive after the car. Police say that officers was driving at a safe speed, and just checking to see the direction of travel and if their speed caused a crash.

And it did. Police say McKinney was behind the wheel when the SUV hit the trailer of a semi turning onto St. George Road. Both McKinney and Crumb died at the scene.
