VIDEO: Guns drawn after vehicle flips on Wilkinson Blvd in W. Charlotte, arrests made

CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Queen City News captured video showing the moment Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers drew guns on a flipped vehicle full of passengers.

Witnesses said it looked as if the vehicle was involved in a police chase. Queen City News reporter Daniel Pierce captured cell phone video just before 10 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, along Wilkinson Boulevard, heading west toward Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

QCN video shows the moment officers pulled their guns out along with a set of hands sticking out of the sunroof. It appeared as if the vehicle struck some electrical equipment right before the vehicle flipped due to the amount of sparks at the scene.

QCN cameras captured at least one person being loaded on a stretcher and taken to an area medical center by Medic. Two other people were taken away in handcuffs after being checked out by Medic at the scene.
