High-speed chase in Washington

On 18 October 2026, a 21-year-old driver was arrested after a high-speed chase involving a Porsche 911 GT3 in Everett, Washington. The incident took place on Interstate 5, where the driver reached a speed of 204 km/h, far exceeding the legal limit.

Chase captured on camera

The chase was recorded by police pedestrian cameras and later shared online, where it gained significant attention. The footage showed the driver evading law enforcement before being stopped near 7th Avenue SE.

Driver identified and arrested

The driver, identified as Tyger S. Yong, was arrested after law enforcement deployed barriers to halt the vehicle. Yong was released on 19 October after paying a bail of 9,400 euros, but the car remained in the custody of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.

Legal action against the vehicle

According to the sheriff's office, a legal seizure procedure is underway, as the Porsche 911 GT3 may be confiscated due to its use in the commission of a crime. The vehicle is a 991.2 generation model with parts from the 911 GT3 RS, which may have contributed to the dangerous driving.

Driver’s remark during arrest

During the arrest, Yong reportedly asked how he could retrieve his car. A sheriff's deputy responded with the warning, "Do not flee from the police," highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
