<div class="IPBDescription">Police Chase Goes Crash!</div> Phew! Well!


A little while ago i heard sirens, a loud crash, followed by several little tinier "thunk-thuds", so, being my natural inquisitive self, i ventured forth to investigate.

lo and behold there was an accident! on a street corner which had previously (in the last ten years) suffered Six crashes, this was no amazing thing, "oh another crash, wohoo"

I was wrong, *this* crash had been caused by a *possibly* drunk driver of a brown *possibly* stolen van, being chased by not one, but *Two* police vehicles. The brown van had crashed into the back of a much larger white van just before the intersection and then presumably skidded a little and onto my street whilst the white van rolled onto an empty lot. It was at this point that the driver of the brown van fled the scene.

Then i came in, looking at the scene which had unfolded and talking to witnesses, they told me the story.

The driver of the brown van didn't make it far before the search dog found him, he barely made it half a block up the road to the cemetary, blurry picture <a href='http://img97.echo.cx/img97/5483/perpcaught8re.jpg' target='_blank'>Here</a>

    Wow...

    They build houses CLOSE wherever you live, VERY close. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah i know, i'm very irritated by it. all the new construction around our house has been annoying as hell, not just the construction part, but the fact that what their building is *crap*. and an insult to decency.

    Rofl.

    Man, despite the obvious damage and chaos, it's kinda cool to be able to be there as it happens and talk to all the witnesses like that. What would be even cooler is if you were saucy southern lawyer of the geriatric age played by Andy Griffith. But nonetheless, cool stuff.

    lol but those are seperate, they're individual houses.

    Very impressive story, the only things that could have improved it:

    More chasing cars/helicopters
    More fire
    A murderer/abductor driving
    SWAT team or national gaurd or army

    Then again, if any of those were elements of your story, it would be headline news, and would probably have given you a bit of a scare....

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention (and forgot to take a pic of it) but the exposed engine of the little van suddenly started smoking and the firefighters all crowded around it for a bit.

    OK, a little kind of update here sort of related to what Depot said. a little comparison between

    You can *barely* even see my house. sheesh.

    Dane Cook has an awesome sketch about crashes and people investigating them. I suggest you hear it.

    I still think you should have randomly attempted to tackle the culprit. Just because. I mean, you are a superhero right?

    Why are car chases still legal? I don't understand.

    I don't know exactly the details, according to the people around the accident the police were chasing this vehicle, but i dont know the full story. One possibility that i can come up with is that the brown van was one of those bait cars... you know the ones rigged to shutdown on the driver and lock them inside? well, this guy might have stolen one.

    eh, i really have no idea. but the cops <i>were</i> following the vehicle, i heard the sirens.
