High Speed Chase

I happened to catch a few minutes last night of one of those high speed freeway chases that California is notorious for. They had it on Fox News, and it was a woman in a U-Haul truck, leading the police on a chase for over two hours.

The news channel cut off the chase report before it was over with, but today, looking around on the internet, I was able to see how it ended. She ran out of gas. Then she jumped from the truck and ran up the street. It looks like she tried to get into a car parked there but the driver drove away. A police officer, running about twice her speed, jumped her, and it looked like a painful take down.

They cuffed her, of course, and lead her away. There was nothing in the back of the truck, so it appears she just wanted the truck, and to get away.

There has to be something wrong with you to get into one of these chase situations. You're not going to get away. The helicopter above should be your first clue. They're going to get you. Just pull over and maybe things will be easier for you.
