Road Rage

Found two bits of interesting news. First being a high speed cop chase that exceeded 85mph (136km/h). After 27 traffic violations the cops stopped him by using the PIT maneuver. The car lost control and hit a pole, the driver was barely hurt. While not fast in relation to other cop chases, it turns out the guy was an 11 year old kid. Check it out here.

The second were some crazy women who kept running out in front of motorway traffic. They ran out once, one got hit but it musn't have been serious cause the police were talking to them soon after. During their chat with the officer one of them bolted across the road again and the other one followed. One got nailed and the other one just kept running into traffic, even crossing the centre barrier into more traffic. She even punched over a policewoman. It took a number of people to detain her (like 8 or 11 or something). Crazy, I want to know more about what was going on for them. Whether they were mentally unstable, wanting to committ suicide together, high on drugs, depressed, traumatised or just straight crazy. Anyhow, check it out for yourself here.

Hope all your days are going well! Peace.
