"The accident is currently under investigation."

I think it's kinda obvious what happened.

It was dumb for the person in question to run but it was also dumb for the Police Officer to give chase at such high speeds. As doing so not only puts himself in danger but also bystanders that are not involved at all with the situation. In this case the Dumb Police Officer also had a wreck. So how does two dummies make a right lol.

Right, so the cops should just let everyone get away because it's not worth chasing them?

Ah well, at least our C3's all just became a little more rare & went up in value :P
