This footage shows a deputy pinning in a suspected drink-driver at the end of a high-speed chase on the motorway.

The footage was obtained from the Thurston County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) and shows the pursuit on Interstate 5, in the US state of Washington, on 22nd August.

The video shows the deputy following the car down the southbound carriageway before boxing it in against the verge and moving in to make the arrest.

A deputy tried to stop the car in the early hours of Saturday, 22nd August, after spotting it weaving across the southbound lanes.

Other drivers had switched on their hazard lights to warn the traffic behind them of the danger ahead.

The sheriff's office said in a post: "The driver pulled over initially, then fled at speeds over 100mph."

Additional units joined the chase as it ran south, and the car eventually pulled over near the boundary with neighbouring Lewis County.

The pursuing deputy pinned the vehicle in against the side of the road and took the driver into custody.

The driver faces charges of felony driving under the influence and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle.
