You really need to change that from breaking news to your everyday average news.

Update: The driver and passenger stayed in the car, and a short time later CHP ground units arrived on the scene. They arrested the two male suspects sitting in the vehicle.

it's so stupid for these people to be driving that fast on a freeway. You are not getting away from anyone on the freeway when you have a chopper overhead.

He'll have a bond of $300. ROR if he is of a certain demographic...

I'm surprised it wasn't a typical Altima driver.

Is this the new record? I've seen these chases for years but the speeds this guy did are in a league of their own.

No lights?? Dang...that's ridiculous.

The on-screen speedo is clearly not accurate.

DA Gascon will ensure that this "quality of life" incident receives no punishment.

[ndarymotion]

Felony evasion should be a capital offense.

[zendonrey]

Sheesh… just back off and let him get away.

[cececomm]

WHY DO AUTO MAKERS MANUFACTURE CARS WITH A SPEEDS OF MORE THAN 80mph????

[eileentalbot]

Don't they know they won't get away

[moozillamoo]
