Crash witness Bill Horrigan says "I thought there was a movie being filmed... It was like throwing these cars. It was unbelievable."
Two other juveniles hop out of the truck's cab...and right into police handcuffs but the teen driver, gears grinding, keeps going.
Size, not speed was the X-factor in this pursuit.
Lt. Mike Titus of the Stow Police Department says "it is a bit challenging when you think about how are you going to stop a very large dump truck when you've never encountered that before."
The 52-mile, one hour chase began Saturday after the dump truck's owner, who had filed a stolen vehicle report that morning, spotted the truck in a residential area.
As one officer closes in on the dump truck from behind, another police officer slides in front to box the truck in. The teen driver lurches into the police SUV and hits the gas in reverse.
The impact slices off the police cruiser's front bumper.
