In July 2019, a video supposedly showing a car evading police by driving under a moving semi-trailer truck went viral on social media. One iteration posted to the LADBible Facebook page garnered nearly 3 million views within a few days of its initial posting. A version posted to the Twitter page Luxury World racked up more than 8 million views: This is not a genuine video of a police chase.
