A high-speed chase that started with a carjacking in Philadelphia on Thursday night ended across the river in Camden.

Video of the chase posted by NBC Philadelphia shows two Philadelphia police vehicles following a dark SUV on Route 76 towards the bridge into New Jersey. The SUV weaved between other vehicles to put some distance between them and police.

Philadelphia police broke off their pursuit once the SUV crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey. The SUV got off Route 76 at the first exit in New Jersey. It continued onto local roads in the Fairview section of Camden, where they abandoned the SUV.
