DWI Driver Hit with 120 MPH PIT Maneuver 🚓

Trooper's Narrative:

On Thursday, November 27th, 2025, at approximately 8:17 a.m., I was conducting stationary radar enforcement on Interstate
430 near the 5-mile marker. I observed a white Toyota Camry traveling southbound at a high rate of speed. Stationary radar
confirmed the vehicle’s speed to be 90 MPH in a posted 65 MPH zone.

I entered the roadway behind the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop near the 2-mile marker. The vehicle, which
appeared to have a single occupant, accelerated rapidly upon the activation of my emergency lights and sirens. The suspect
vehicle reached speeds of approximately 120 MPH. I notified Troop A Communications that I was in pursuit.

To prevent a dangerous and prolonged high-speed pursuit, I positioned my patrol unit alongside the passenger side of the
vehicle and executed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI). The vehicle rotated clockwise, exited the roadway, and entered the
tree line on the west side of the interstate, where it struck multiple trees and overturned.

I approached the vehicle and located the driver, later identified as Mr. Taylan Bizzell, unrestrained, unresponsive, and
positioned near the passenger side of the vehicle. Mr. Bizzell regained consciousness shortly thereafter. I was able to open the
passenger door and assist him out of the vehicle. Medical personnel arrived on scene and transported Mr. Bizzell to Baptist
Health Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.

An inventory of the vehicle was conducted, during which an open container of alcohol was located. While speaking with Mr.
Bizzell, I observed the odor of intoxicants. The vehicle was found to be unregistered and uninsured, and Mr. Bizzell did not
possess a valid driver’s license.

A blood draw warrant was obtained and executed at Baptist Health.
Mr. Bizzell was cleared for incarceration and transported to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Center where he was
charged with the following;

5-54-125 – Fleeing by Vehicle – Causing Serious Physical Injury (B/F)
5-65-103 – Driving While Intoxicated – 1st Offense
5-71-218 – Open Container of Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle
