Austin white, 18, allegedly stole a bulldozer from a construction site in Bradley, Illinois

Newly released dash cam footage shows the moment a stolen bulldozer crushed a police car after a four-mile low-speed chase of the monstrous machine.

Austin White, 18, of Bourbonnaise, Illinois, was arrested after being pulled out of the bulldozer and tasered by police. He was taken to the hospital for injuries.

Kankakee police said they received a call around 3am last month from an off-duty officer saying a John Deere bulldozer was spinning around in the streets. 

Footage from the police car shows the out-of-control bulldozer backing up and onto a squad car as the officer runs out just in time. 

Footage shows multiple views of the 10-minute chase. At one point, officers are chasing the bulldozer on foot.

Police said they followed the construction vehicle for 12 blocks as it barreled down the street at five miles per hour.
