Now he's in a bayou and it looks like he doesn't want to come out. This old man was crazy! Did y'all see where all he was driving? Geez.
No, but found out that he stopped about 1/4 mile from my house. Traffic home will be most unpleasant.
This is the second car chase in that general area in a week. My daughter was going south on 288 at the tollway when she was passed by a car going very fast and followed by police cars. He started someplace in downtown Houston and was finally stopped about 288 and 35. These guys never get away, they are stupid to run. Being a criminal is stupid to begin with and "stupid is as stupid does".
There was a group of about fifteen of us at my workplace standing and watching the last thirty minutes of the chase on CNN Headline News. Most of the other folks were from India. I can only imagine what they think about us Americans after seeing that!
I think Chevy is going to want to use some of that footage in their next ad campaign. :) That pickup truck took a hell of a pounding--50+ mph across fields, golf courses, railroad tracks, 90+ mph down the freeways, and still kept going until the police got the spike-strips out.
I can't believe CNNHN dropped their normal coverage to show that chase, though. And whoever that anchorette was...ugh. Total dummy. Her two best lines that I remember:
"It's no wonder the police can't catch up to that truck, it probably has a very powerful engine in it. It's one of those extended-cab models."
And, after the guy had landed in the creek and he had about fifty cops surrounding him with guns drawn: "So, what happens now?" Durrrrrrr.
