Dramatic body cam footage shows the shocking moments that led to a vehicle smashing into a Northeast Ohio man’s house.

The Cleveland Heights Police Department released the body cam video to local news outlets, though it wasn’t immediately clear which charges the suspects may face, 19 News reports Thursday morning (November 18). Watch the video shared by the station here.

The high-speed chase — which reportedly topped 85 miles per hour — happened around 12:30 a.m. on November 12, at the intersection of Fairmount Boulevard and South Taylor Road. The resident, John Gall, was uninjured when the vehicle came barreling through his home as he slept on his couch, about 15 feet away. Gall, who was displaced from his home after the incident, told Fox 8: at the time: “I stuck my head out the broken front window and said, ‘Please don’t shoot me, I am the homeowner.’ …I can’t go in there. It’s unstable. They don’t want me back in the house (and) I don’t know what to do next.”

Police previously confirmed that two suspects occupied the vehicle — which they suspected was involved in multiple crimes, prompting the chase — that smashed through Gall’s home earlier this month. One of those suspects was transported to the hospital, and the other fled the scene that night.
