An Arkansas state trooper used a PIT maneuver on the wrong car during a high-speed chase earlier this month, WREG-TV reported.
The station, citing Arkansas State Police, said troopers were pursuing two vehicles traveling over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 40 in St. Francis County on Sept. 10 when one trooper performed the PIT maneuver on a car that wasn't involved.
Turns out, one of the vehicles being pursued as well as the vehicle that the trooper erroneously stopped both are white, four-door sedans, WREG reported, citing state police.
The driver and passenger of the car mistakenly stopped weren't injured and declined medical treatment, the station said.
The trooper, Cpl. Thomas Hubbard, submitted his letter of retirement after Arkansas State Police began conducting an internal review, WREG said, adding that he hasn't been on duty since the incident.
Here's the dashcam video. The ill-fated PIT maneuver occurs just before the 2-minute mark:
