The Police Chase
We know that the police attempted to pull over the Lexus about 20 blocks south on US-1. The Police claim they lost sight of the Lexus in traffic as they pursued on US-1. Unanswered questions include:
- Why did the people in the Lexus flee?
- Did the Police follow at excessive speeds?
Ultimately, the alleged culprit, the driver of the Lexus paid the ultimate price. Unfortunately, it cost the life of an innocent woman and has left 2 daughters without a mother and a husband without his wife. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this grieving family.
