History
After discovering their home has been wrecked and Splinter is missing, Leonardo phones April O'Neil for help. She comes to pick up the Turtles in her van. As she is driving the Turtles back to her apartment, the van is spotted by a police officer. Since it fits the description of a vehicle used in a robbery just twenty minutes earlier, they hit the sirens and chase April. Because the Turtles are in the van, April has no choice but to take evasive maneuvers. During the ensuing pursuit, April winds up on the same street as the van occupied by the actual thieves. The passenger, Slim, calls out to Nick, the driver, to tell him there are a lot of cops coming up fast. Nick tells him not to panic, because the police are chasing someone else. The two vans end up side-by-side and April draws Leo's attention to the other van. He tells her to make a hard right, which she does, and rams the other vehicle. Slim shouts to Nico, in the back seat, that they are going to flip, which the van does. The police swarm the overturned van and Rico stands up through the broken driver's side window, hands on his head as he stares down a police officer's rifle barrel.
