Police pursuits, especially at high speeds, are dangerous events that often put other innocent drivers and passengers at serious risk of harm. When a fleeing suspect collides with other vehicles, the impact can trigger multi-vehicle crashes that cause catastrophic injuries and spark fires, such as this incident. In addition to physical harm, the injured also suffer significant financial and emotional burdens.
