Bellevue Police have released footage of an illegal street race that ended in a crash, resulting in charges of reckless driving against the suspect. The incident, captured on traffic cameras throughout the city, shows two vehicles speeding at over 100 miles per hour before one of them crashed.

The suspect, identified as the driver of a white Subaru WRX, faces charges of reckless driving following the incident, which occurred on April 26. The footage, released by the Bellevue Police Department (BPD), shows the two vehicles involved in the race speeding through the streets of Bellevue.

The BPD's video, titled "Too Fast. Too Furious," consists of clips from what appears to be four separate traffic cameras. It shows the two cars zipping so fast through the city streets that it is hard to see their makes and models. One of the vantage points shows the cars speeding through a yellow light that quickly turns red.

The two cars involved, a light-colored Subaru and a dark-colored vehicle, were speeding so quickly through the streets of Bellevue that it is hard to see their makes and models. Police have identified the light-colored vehicle as the suspect's white Subaru WRX.

The streets where the two cars were illegally racing looked wet from rainfall at the time of the drivers' high speeds. The light and darker colored cars went through a yellow light that quickly turned red while they were at the intersection.

The lighter-colored car, driven by the suspect, crashed near 143rd Avenue Northeast, and rolled off the side of the road. The darker colored vehicle carried on. Police say there were no serious injuries. The race lasted about 28 blocks.

The incident has raised concerns about the dangers of street racing and the need for increased enforcement. Street racing is a serious offense that can result in serious injuries or even death. The BPD is urging the public to report any illegal street racing activity to help keep the community safe.
