I see you haven't watched the video, Cure didn't run away he came after the cop. The cop only shot him after he was being choked against the back of Cure's truck.

I meant when he fled in the car

He didn't flee in his truck. He blew by a cop in the fast lane then pulled over to the right when the cop got behind him with his lights on.
