NC Crash Video Released
Posted by: Trench Reynolds in Crime and Punishment, tags: joyriding, north carolina, StatesvilleVideo refutes claim police bumped teens’ car:
Police have released the video of the crash that left 7 kids who were joyriding dead. According to the article at no time did the police cruiser come into contact with the stolen car. Which is kind of what every sane individual expected in the first place. One of the mothers of the kids who died believed that the cops had run the stolen Dodge Intrepid off the road. Let’s see how that claim went…
The videotape begins at 12:02:16 a.m. with Officer Keith Bills following the white Dodge Intrepid on U.S. Highway 21.
At 12:02:30, the video shows that the police car is going 42 mph and is two to three car lengths behind the teens.
The video shows the Dodge swerving across the center line.
At 12:03:01, the police car is going 49 mph and the distance between the two car has increased. The video shows that Bills has turned on his blue lights. Bills also radioed that there were three to five occupants in the car, and added “He’s a high rate of speed.”
By the time the chase nears the southern entrance of Cumberland Road, the speed display shows 78 mph with the Dodge well in front of the patrol car. The speed limit is 45 mph.
At 12:03:48 the speed tops 100 mph. The Dodge pulls further away from Bills’ cruiser.
At 12:04:07, the car fishtails left and then swerves off the road and down the embankment to the right, turning completely around before flipping upside down into the creek.
The camera shows the patrol car is many car lengths behind the Dodge at the time of the wreck.
Hmmmmm. Man, the police just terrorized those poor kids didn’t they? There’s also allegations that the car wasn’t actually stolen…
The Dodge was reported stolen to the Statesville Police Department nearly 12 hours after the wreck, but some family members have said the teens paid to borrow the car.
What difference does it make? What were 7 teenagers doing out past midnight anyway? Why were you letting them joyride? There’s no excuse for 7 unlicensed kids to be driving around in any car past midnight. Instead of blaming police maybe you should put the blame somewhere closer to home. Like maybe yourselves for instance.
As always it was your pleasure.
