Mods, if this is not allowed, please delete. I saw nothing in the rules preventing this. Thanks...Dennis

It reminds me of a chase scene in Terminator!

[atsrmf]

Watch the right front tire after the first collision. How was she able to handle that rig after that??

[Monkeyman_and_L]

What got me was how quickly that passenger side evaporated when they hit that tree or light pole. What was that RV made out of, styrofoam coolers?

I can't go along with that thinking at all .

The crazy people don't slow down because they are CRAZY !!!!

Well, Dave. That's old school thinking. Today it's all about blaming the other guy, anyone. That poor sucker in the white car that tried to get out of the way? Well he's in the hospital with 6 broken ribs and a punctured lung which will take months to heal. I'd like those that blame the police to step back a moment and ask themselves; just what would you have liked the police to do? Shoot out the tires? P.I.T. maneuver? Put up a roadblock? Maybe station your cruiser in front of her to slow her down? Like any of those would have worked. There's only one person to blame here, the driver of the stolen motorhome with the stolen dogs inside....Dennis

Thank you Dennis .
Old school for sure , that's me .

Interesting but very disturbing. I hope everyone that got hit is OK.
That goes to show desperate people do desperate things.

So it was insane to try and stop her before she killed some people?? Everyone and everything that she hit are all asking why the police didn't stop her before she hit them. Suggest that those that don't like the way law enforcement does things, just go out and try it yourself. I support all Law officers, and realize that no one is perfect. And generally, the biggest complainers make a lot more income than most officers. And then complain about paying taxes for the officers salaries.

That was totally insane to escalate the chase. Like they thought they would lose her and not be able to find a 35 ft motor home ripped open on the highway?

Seeing that dog jump out was real hard to watch though.

They just showed on TV news a live shot of the dog that jumped walking around doing just fine with 2 casts one on the front and one on the back leg that are not impairing his movement at all. THAT dog is one lucky dog! 🙂

Dogs were stolen also and their micro chip info is reuniting them with their owners.

All seriousness aside I was proud to see that MH take such a huge punch and keep on going! :B

Who says RV are not well built.Half the cockpit is gone and it is still going. Must admit it is the passenger half that is gone.

[MrWizard]

Escalate .... B.S.

That nutty woman drove at high speed even when the chp was blocks away behind her, guess she thought she could outrun the helicopters overhead

[Chum_lee]

Wow! That's insane. I could have predicted that. Why law enforcement escalates these chases is just beyond me. There must be a better way.

Looks better than some of the “Ready to go camping” units I’ve seen advertised...

[K_Charles]

That should buff out OK.
