It looks like a perregrin. There are a lot of falconers who own them and quite often those that I have seen are trained that have gotten loose. I have taken my glove and whistled for them. If they come I find the owners. I haven't seen any in a while, but I don't have a falconers license so it would be illegal for me to keep one for any length of time.
Very cool vid thanks for sharing.

Nice. Not sure what it is off the top of my head and I don't feel like getting the bird book out, but it's no Peregrine.

I agree.
I shouldn't view youtube on my mobile. The bird looks totally different on the 'puter.
Please disregard my previous statement.

It's an immature accipiter, a Cooper's or a sharp-shinned. My guess would be a Cooper's.

And you say this bird was driving through Indiana...After taking a the dogs out for a run. I thought birds could fly and I didn't know birds were allowed to own a dog. Ah! Of course! Dogs can't fly can they?! That explains why the bird was driving.
