I was leaving our favorite eatery . I was just pulling on the door handle of my truck to climb in, when I turned to see what the sirens were all about. Then I saw, and heard a really nasty impact.
60 more seconds, My son, girlfriend, and myself would have been sitting at that light. It was slightly disturbing. Makes you realize just how fragile life really can be.
I guess the bad guy had hit two other cars at the last intersection and when he came in to ours, he creamed an A6 at what I am estimating to be at least 80 mph.
The victims car took out one light pole ( I saw it airborne ) and got smashed , and pinned into another one, across the intersection , with one of those large electric panels on it. There was airborne debris everywhere. looked like a nascar crash.
I was surprised to see him alive. They pulled him out , and the poor guy was screaming his head off. The image of the position of his legs, is an image that will stick with me for some time.
The police came out with guns drawn, but here is what pisses me off . The police were from a little po dunk town, 15 miles away from this accident. They engaged in a high speed chase on a busy divided highway at peak traffic times.
Unless , this guy was a child molester, had just killed someone, or was about to kill someone, I think the police used bad judgment. Just my .02.
I know there has been a lot of controversy surrounding high speed chases, how do you guys feel about it?
