As Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what this South Carolina driver had in mind when he stole an excavator and led police on a low-speed pursuit for a little over an hour.
The excavator was going so slow that the cruisers would have to briefly stop several times a minute to not pass the construction equipment.
The driver probably could have kept it going longer, but he turned into the Charleston County Fairgrounds property and got stuck.
So, he dismounted from the vehicle and fled on foot.
While I'm sure the police were momentarily confused by the increase in speed, they did eventually catch him.
The driver faces charges of failure to stop for a blue light and two counts of malicious injury to real property;
He's currently in custody on a $22,000 bond.
