A high-speed chase in California’s Inland Empire has been going on for over two hours as of this writing, and while it’s a dangerous situation for everyone involved, it was a bit embarrassing for the local news anchors, as everyone – including the helicopter camera operator – lost sight of the black Toyota Camry that was actually involved in the chase, and instead focused on a black Chevrolet Impala that was nearby that was just going about its business.
The Camry reached speeds touching 125 mph, according to ABC7, and the suspect eventually hopped into a different car and is continuing the chase. Also, this happened, because PIT maneuvers are nowhere near as foolproof as every cop show would make it seem:
High speed chases are hard.
Thanks for the video, Tim!
