I watched this car chase in the Dallas area on tv this afternoon. It went on for a about 90 minutes and I expect it will be on Wildest Police Chases (or whatever that program is) very soon. No word on the condition of the chasee - you can imagine why if you look at the film. the crash happens about 30 sec or 1/4 of the way into the clip.

I don't think that will buff right out.

Thankfully, the other driver seemed fine.

Next to a train or big rig, could you pick a worse vehicle to be hit by?

How do you like your T-Bone?

Doh :)

The guy should have ditched his car and hoofed it after he beat the railroad crossing and bought some time. He woulda been caught by the eye in the sky, but at least he wouldn't have wrecked some poor dudes truck, and someone could have bought his Maxima at auction for cheap :)

RIP Maxima, you were owned by a retarded douche.

Hopefully the driver of that car gets fucked up royally, and hopefully the public won't have to pay for the healthcare for him.

Yeah you are going to need to use some JB weld and then buff it out. Then it will be as good as new ;)

Same probably can't be said about the driver... moran.

Thankfully, the other driver seemed fine.

Good to hear.

Two things I never could figure out about car chases:

1. When are the bad guys going to finally get it through their heads that you can't outrun the radio in the police car??

2. Why don't career criminals invest in run-flat tires, that might defeat spike strips???

Or the helicopters (police and media).

Ouch.

yeah i was watching it live. the cops had a few times to take the idiot out without harm to anyone. yet they let him continue on. good thing it was a truck that hit him and not some small car.

did they ever say why they were chaseing him? all they would say is they had a hit from the drug dog.

Why do they have laws against bumping cars down there?

Welcome to the US. We're communist now. We provide healthcare for everyone and you can be whatever and whoever you want because there's no truth!
