An 18-year-old driver was fleeing from police at over 115 mph when they flipped into a porta-potty in California, authorities said.

Officers tried to stop the BMW driver but they refused to pull over, California Highway Patrol’s West Valley posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on March 12.

A helicopter then chased after the driver, officers said.

Eventually, officers spotted the BMW in Malibu, but it raced away from police, the highway patrol said.

The driver then crashed into a truck and flipped into a porta-potty, officers said.

A photo shows the white vehicle turned on its side next to a crushed blue porta-potty.

Malibu is about a 30-mile drive west from Los Angeles.
