If You're Fleeing the Police, a Prius Might Not Be Your Best Bet

In Lithuania, one Toyota Prius driver apparently decided his car had just enough "sport" to ignore a police stop and make a run for it. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well. Authorities responded by rolling out their ace—the cheerful, spiky strip known as the spike strip, guaranteed to bring even the most stubborn speedster to a screeching halt.

The chase ended, and both driver and passengers were swiftly logged into the legal system, courtesy of a prompt and costly check-in. All that's left now is to shop for a fresh set of tires.
