Newly obtained dashcam video shows a Westland Police officer pursuing a car before the officer crashed.
The incident happened in January of this year near Palmer and Venoy roads.
The video shows the officer attempting to catch up to a vehicle at speeds of 90 MPH when the patrol car hits a bump in the road, causing the officer to lose control and crash. The vehicle rolled over before coming to a stop.
The officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries, was conscious at the scene, and was later transported to a local hospital. He has since been released.
While police have not released the reason for the pursuit, audio from the dashcam indicates it began over a traffic violation.
The suspect initially fled but was later located and taken into custody without incident.
