VID: Police chase ruins a container hauler’s day

Jul 11, 2012

Yesterday I suspect had to be the worst day in memory for the container hauler you see in the video below.

A police chase of a suspected child molester in Los Angeles began when the suspect told police he was suicidal and sped away from their attempt to arrest him. Performing a maneuver to stop him shortly afterward, police spun his pickup into the rig. Here’s hoping L.A. County picks up the tab on the damage (to the container and chassis only, I suspect). Here’s the vid:
