Wow... the lack of physics and/or statistics understanding on the part of fleeing criminals never ceases to amaze me.
Still sad though.

I'm glad the officer was not seriously injured in this dangerous encounter. It sounds like there was much potential for a bad outcome.

Wrong place, wrong time. That is pretty amazing. He must have been wearing a seat belt.

So did they dump the concrete load in a ditch or something. Or did it set up in the truck? You have only an hour or two.
Re: Burglary Suspect Fights LEO, Escapes, Then Dies in Crash
Was the dead suspect hauling stolen goods? Pay day in dirt, I guess.

Don't think it mattered since the truck truned over on it's side. I am sure teh drum was damaged and would have to be replaced.philip964 wrote:So did they dump the concrete load in a ditch or something. Or did it set up in the truck? You have only an hour or two.

I'm glad the police officer was ok. That clown was probably high on something.
