News Center 7 obtained surveillance video from a car wash showing the moments a stolen white BMW crashed into three other vehicles on Brandt Pike late Tuesday afternoon.

The stolen vehicle was driving fast on Brandt Pike when it collided into two vehicles, including a pick-up truck.

After the crash, the video shows the suspect fleeing the BMV on foot into a parking lot before other police vehicles arrived on scene. Two turned into the parking lot where the suspect fled.

Less than 45 seconds after the crash, the stolen car went into flames along with the pick-up truck and another person had fire on his leg and it spread to his body. Other people came to assist the person.

Flames with black smoke continued until firefighters and medics arrived to put out the flames.
