Fatal Report: V1 WAS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND FAILED TO NEGOTIATE A LEFT-HAND CURVE IN THE ROADWAY. V1 EXITED THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT. V1 THEN OVERTURNED AND EJECTED THE DRIVER. V1 CAME TO FINAL REST UPRIGHT FACING WEST IN THE ROADSIDE DITCH. www.ark.org/asp-fatal/index.php?do=view_reports&accident_number=477&year_rec=2023
I imagine the driver was found about 20-30 yards from where the steering wheel was found (@1 o'clock 9:42 - 9:44), he must have put one hell of a death grip on that steering wheel, and sailed through the air with it. 12:39 Trooper Morphis locates a bag of weed and a flip-flop @ 11 o'clock (V1 at 12 o'clock), that aligns with the 1 o'clock. That is one hell of a flight path DeeRoh took, just can't see what he hit at about the 2 o'clock position that spun the vehicle landing it towards the west. At 160 mph, he face planted that airbag, wouldn't be surprised if stuck to his face.
Those guys are the best in southeast Arkansas. You can hear the compassion in Trooper Morphis voice because he knew the driver. My heart goes out for the ones that worked the scene. Also to the families of the driver. Great job guys!
@@karlshaner2453I got my driver's license in California in the early 1990s. Before going for our permit and later driver's license we had to take a driving ed course at our local high school. We learned all the traffic laws and would watch real videos by the CHP. Often times students would turn their heads because they were so graphic. They were all real accidents.
@@karlshaner2453 And they didn't give any "Viewer Discretion Advised" warnings, either. Just "Here! Take a look at this end result, and take notes.... There will be a test on this later."
Back in the 70s it was called Signal 30, Highway Patrol signal for DUI/Death in vehicle. We called them 41I/48 in my county. Made a believer outta me, cars and speed can kill. Seen and called many of them dead on the scene as an EMS provider. I see it continues today. Shame, wasted lives.
Lost my daughter to one of these, hit her head on, wrong side of the road going 150 to get away from a cop the jerk lived my daughter didn't . Please if you are watching this DON"T run , save your life and the person you may hit please.
I am so so sorry you lost your daughter. Thank you for being brave and advising people not to run. Coming from you, maybe someone will read your words, feel your pain and never run in the first place. I know watching videos like this must be especially disturbing to you. I’m praying for you and your daughter. ❤
Holy moly man, I'm speechless. So sorry to hear that, but also so appreciative to see you bring us back to the tragic reality of these scenarios. As "entertaining" or as intense as these videos are, I sometimes find myself guilty of just not thinking about how life-changing the decisions and outcomes actually are.
A belt can keep a feller in the car. A belt can hold a feller's pants up. A belt, properly used by a feller's daddy, might prevent a son from even considering fleeing in the first place.
@@taylormade710I'm married to a man who is a first responder (fire department/ambulance), and my brain can't hardly handle hearing the details so I've never understood how he could actually see all this stuff with his eyes. I praise him and thank him all the time and tell him how much I appreciate everything he does in his career and how proud I am of him. He started out as a police officer, but most people can't stand the police. That's an extremely difficult job because you have to do and see all these horrendous things and nobody likes you. At least most people like and appreciate firefighters.
This reminded me of a story My mother used to tell me about an accident her cousin was in. A bunch of drunk kids hit them, and caused a roll over in a field. The drunk/high kids were laughing because her cousins husband was searching around in the tall grass, on his hands and knees for their baby that had been ejected from the car. (This was the late 60's, before seat belts and baby seats were mandatory.) He ended up snapping and beating one of the kids half to death. Turned out, the baby was deceased, under the overturned car. They found it when the wrecker flipped the car over. Cops refused to arrest the husband for the assault. Things were different back then.
😢😢 In Santa Ana CA back in 2006 the apartments I lived at police were called on a father that had his 3 yr old daughter sat down on a hot plate bc she wouldn't stop crying the responding officers had to restrained one of their own bc he beat the crap out of the father. I saw from my window how he tossed him out his window and beat him in the front patio. But the worst part was the little girl screaming "daddy daddy" 😭
@@denitzilla thats horrible (What the dad did, not the cop). I know that if it wasnupntonmost of us, we would not hold the cop liable, but the reality is cops are not judge, jury and executioner. If you let this slide, where's the line? The cop probably screwed his career, and gave the "father" a ghetto lottery pay day. In hind sight, the cop probably should have stuffed down the anger, and did his job. Things have changed a lot since the 60's.
Im german so ive gone close to 200mph on the autobahn a couple of times when there was close to no traffic and clear weather People have no idea how narrow the road gets and how unstable the car feels and im a good driver in the prime of my years with excellent eye sight and reactions who works as a mechanic and is certified in knowledge over all the components a vehicle consists of To go 160mph on a road like that at night is completely insane I mean yeah an excellent driver could get away with it but an excellent driver would never do it because its idiotic Ignore driving skills and road conditions just think about some other driver suddenly pulling out a sideroad or wildlife suddenly appearing Even something as small as a rabbit will hit you like a cannonball at 160mph
Very well said! *Superspeeding on poorly lit roads like that at night in a Dodge Challenger (which is a heavy car n ain't great at takin corners, hence mockingly referred to as boats by petrolheads) n without havin seatbelts on!* Stupidity really knows no bounds! This was a Darwin Award that was well deserved. I'm just glad that it was a single vehicle crash n that nobody else was hurt.
This is one thing I worry of when I'm driving home after a night shift. I live out in the country in South Carolina, and some of the roads have 55+ MPH speed limits (in the South 45+ on a country road gives you pretty good clearance to enjoy some spirited driving, because police don't commonly patrol those roads). That said, wildlife is a terrifying variable. Deer, raccoons, strays, etc, and it's absolutely terrifying, because it's very common we see roadkill and car debris out and about on these roads. These roads are also definitely NOT smooth or healthy enough to run 160 MPH.
My idiot ex boyfriend has us going 120mph in his Jeep, I thought we were going to die! He was trying to chase someone who flipped him off on highway... we could have died that day due to stupidity 😮
@@DamienVryce-dd6gmI don't think I'd be worrying about having a pistol. Kind of crazy for this cop to be worried so much about a rifle when somebody could be breathing their last breath. S*** I think I'd want to see somebody's face if I was not unconscious to see somebody for the last time. Before that judgment.
would be interesting to know how far he sailed,, whats odd is the car doesnt seem to have flipped many time if any due to its location right next to the road.. and according to the laws of physics, going around a right turn, the car would roll from right to left, and if it flipped on its back, he would still be in the car.. Unless he over corrected , and it flipped left to right , then it might make sense.. anyhoo DEERO IS NO MO...
I knew a guy who worked at a Ford/Chrysler assembly plant in Ontario. They produced the police Crown Vic’s there too. Legend has it that sometimes on C shift one of these road beasts would be driven off the line for some recreational time in a out of the way area of the lot. I myself worked at a tier two supplier factory as a forklift operator. In winter there was an outdoor machine rented for us to use if racking etc needed to be brought in/out. There were ample shenanigans happening with that thing on B shift so I have no reason to doubt the voracity of the Crown Vic story. Those Marauders were well known and could lay serious rubber.
I just watched a video where this guy was handcuffed in the back of a cop car, got out of thecuffs 'cause he was so skinny.....took off and led them on a chase, crashed into a semi on the side of the road and died. Debris field was huge.
@@kenoneill8783 Don't say that! This very agency was involved with another charger exceeding 160 when he head on hit an 18 wheeler and stopped it in its tracks!! His car went a few yards down the road as he got out and ran away on camera from the trooper chasing him! Unbelievably, almost without injury. You can NEVER TELL!
My grandpa actually got me a visor clip when I was a teen that said " don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly". I am still here because I remember those words
@@dodgersfan8598I bet there is a safety latch that engages and holds the shotgun/rifle in place during a severe accident - like rollover(s)…it likely has to be released before the weapon can be removed again.
That's what happens when the driver is not as good as he thinks he is. Thank goodness he didn't take anyone else out. At that speed they would be red mist.
No seatbelt is a big one. But I suspect he would be dead at that speed just from the crash. In NASCAR and Indy those speeds kill drivers who had on helmets and 5 point harnesses.
I’m amazed at the guy’s eyesight!!! I watched that footage back ten times before he turned around and couldn’t spot anything in the ditch. Not to mention how he knew which way to turn every time 🤯 - just amazing.
Yet stupid he can’t catch that car had the plate new the guy still chased in the black of night 100 on a dangerous road. He could killed him self in a pothole deer or someone walking. He should have never chased after he made the first left
I remember seeing this on another channel. For all the comical comments, I found it deeply tragic. The officer spent so long searching in the dark calling the suspect´s name begging him to say something. And, yeah, running was an absolutely stupid thing to do, moronic, but in the end, a man died horribly, and it was a man the officer knew. I really feel for the cop. I really do.
Seems a lot of people with these powerful cars believe owning one somehow automatically imbues them with the skills of a NASCAR driver. That or they're under the impression that real life is like "the fast and the furious" or GTA. Inevitably becoming Recipients of a "Darwin Award" like this fool.
Young Males typically think they are god's gift to 4 wheels. And this is how the real world treats the drivers who think they're living in a movie franchise.
My little brother died like this in 2017… running from the police. Worst pain I ever felt… losing a sibling. He was ejected from the car… the car ended up on him. It not worth it. The pain never goes away. I just learn to live without him. You suppose to grow old with your siblings. He was 32 years old!!!
Give me a break. The douchebags got out of their squad car with guns drawn, even though the accident occurred at 160 miles an hour. Like there was going to be any threat at that high rate of speed. They also took their sweet ass time to try to administer any medical help. They were more concerned about their own safety than anybody else. Idiots!
People don't realize how the road changes at 125+ mph. Even the weight of the car seems to change. A small hump in the road can make you go airborne. We don't normally drive at those speeds so people don't realize until its too late. There's no way a street car could make that flat turn at those speeds. I don't know why the guy ran but I doubt it was worth dying for.
Yeah, a high school friend had his brother take us on a surprise ride, his car began to hydro-plane at 140 MPH. All the white lines in the center became one. I was in the back sit , I buckled up, asked him to slow down. I knew he didn’t have the skills or talent to handle his car. But his brother , kept telling him go faster. I’m here to tell my story, the dude got into drugs and stuff, I guess people want uncontrolled life style. Grim Reaper is just around the corner .
I’m amazed the trooper was able to follow him, I lost sight of him a long time ago. Lol. Hats off to the police that have to deal this on a daily basis
If you watch police chases from Arkansas they're pretty good at keeping the fleeing suspect in sight even though they are far away. I don't know if they have infrared to track a speeding car but they are able to keep on their tails.
You gotta remember, your eyes have unlimited resolution. Your computer monitor, phone, TV, or MP3 player has a limited resolution and can't display everything, and the cameras are a limit point to. Things like contrast and pinpoint detail get lost after a certain point.
Hats off to ASP for staying calm, being total professionals. Directing other LEOs to lock cars, watch crossfire, this is a best practice video. Nicely done, trooper, and others.
Yeah because initiating a high speed chase on a vehicle when you already have the plate and before that already knew who was driving costing a member of the public there life is PROFESSIONAL. Fire him for failing to uphold his oath.
Dude caused a high-speed chase and showed up to a scene that was clearly a medical emergency. His only thoughts are to get as many guns as he can. And he was too stupid to figure out how to get his rifle out
I dont think there was any evidence that the victim and the cop knew each other. The cop was calling out "D. Rowe" for Desmond Rowe, the victims name which came up when the officer ran the plate at the first stop
Sad to watch the last few minutes of a person’s life when it could had all been avoided. To know the family can watch this video and maybe screaming for him to just stop! Why would you risk your life for nothing. The stress the officers go through is heartbreaking also.
You’re right. We all just witnessed the last few minutes of someone’s life. That’s a bit sobering. The one comforting thing I can say, is if his family watches this is that they can hear the trooper calling out to help him. That would comfort me. But then again, I would pray none of my family members made his life choices in the first place. Not trying to be too unkind here.
Thank you for being a caring human, reading most of the comments is very disheartening and is a glimpse of how shallow and ego driven the majority of humans are.
Speeding wouldn't have even sent him back to prison. Maybe a night or two in county jail. Sadly, some people grow up still having the mentalities of naive children who think life is a video game where they can do whatever they want and not face harm. Someone speeding at 160 down a dark winding road, not even wearing a set belt was bound to win a Darwin award. Makes me grateful that my basic survival instincts are wired right.
It’s a horrible feeling searching for someone you think has been ejected. Even if you know they’re not a good person, it’s still disconcerting knowing they’re probably unconscious/deceased & just lying somewhere out of sight.
The lead cop was amazing in every way. It’s even more heartbreaking because I think if it’s a small town, the cop actually knows this person calling him by his first name.
If the officer knew the driver, the high-speed chase was unnecessary. Best course of action is to stay calm, don't chase, let driver think they have escaped, and they will slow down. They can be picked up at a later time for speeding, fleeing, etc...
@@JR-ud6obso it’s the cops fault dude died? lol no depends on the county. In mine they don’t chase anyone who flees. If this county does this officer is expected to follow protocol.
I was nervous for him because those roads were dark as hell. I thought some of those lights were cars. How he was able to see at those speeds and maintain was impressive 😮
It's called high performance driver training. Police departments don't let just anybody climb behind the wheel. America has enough carnage on the roads without adding police light bars and sirens to the recipe.
@@pre1980cars In a police Charger?... Not very fast (they have brake problems). But they do have that pusher plate in front. That helps considerably, as does the structural re-enforcement of the front end police Chargers have.
I am impressed by the officers skilled driving scene management, and care for the driver wanting to help him, cool and calm during the chase, and you could hear the release of his adrenalin after he found the vehicle, a job not easily done by anyone, sir I applaud you for the fine job you do, protecting and upholding the law, I thank you
Amazing scene control by Officer Morphis. To be mindful of the possible outcomes if the driver was still active. Reminding all responding to watch cross fire, keeping units locked / no keys, looking out for walkers along the road, etc. Very much on point and heightened situational awareness.
You'd think. But there a actually lots of examples that prove otherwise. Just saw another recent "160" Ark pursuit of a Black Charger/Challenger launch after hitting a slightly elevated train crossing and ejected the driver. Just broke his leg. Found him fully conscious. But the craziest one that comes to mind is from like the 90s. A Corvette doing 120 hits the back corner of a big rig trailer and it just explodes spinning wildly. Dude was uninjured except for one or two scratches. Just him left him sitting on the side of road. It's a must watch. It was still available on YT last time I looked for it.
@@jaybingham3711I saw it, the luckiest driver alive. On the other hand,we had a man who died hitting a neighbours gate at maybe 15mph tops - aorta rupture. There's so many things at play but the observation that drunks make it more than their innocent victims often holds true, unfortunately.
driving at those speeds, on those roads! Total respect to the officers here. That takes absolutely every fibre of your body and mind to do that. To then suddenly change, still control your adrenaline and deal with the aftermath with compassion and professionalism is nothing short of hero level.
I'm sad for people like you who can't see the big picture clearly. Your single minded, simplistic, sheep mentalities that tell you things like "Cop good, Criminal bad" leads you to conclusions that a speeding criminal who's putting innocent lives in danger is a moron but a cop doing the exact same thing is a Hero and deserves your admiration. Sorry, he's a bigger moron because it's his job to NOT put innocent lives in harms way. With all the resources law enforcement has at their disposal and the oath they take to protect and serve, there is no excuse for the poor judgement that this officer exhibited. He had no chance of catching this car unless he kept him running fast enough to crash out. Which could just as easily have been into an oncoming vehicle carrying innocent families. A hero would have used good judgement and common sense, backed off and coordinated with other officers to apprehend the suspect in a safer location and manner. He knew the guy well enough to call out his nickname so it's not like he was going to get away with running from him. He exhibited nothing even close to compassion or professionalism. His only goal in calling out to him was to illicit a response so he'd know where he needed to point his gun. He wasn't even smart enough to figure out how to release his rifle from its mount. Calling out to the guy was just a tactic to locate his victim in case he had a gun. There were no heros in this video. Just two criminals. The one who ran and the one the people of the State of Arkansas paid for the crimes he committed.
There's something that most drivers are not aware of is that regular tires are not designed or built for those high speeds. Cop cars have specials that are built for high speeds. 40 years ago, one specially made tire for a cop car cost over $300.
It was a Challenger, so he might have had tires like that, but the car was designed to be fast in a straight line. They're not meant to negotiate curves at 160mph.
my challenger has tires priced at 430 a piece, perilis, most challengers have good tires that can handle higher speeds, but, given he probably drove wreckless often, they may have been bald or close to it
that being said, these cars are way too heavy for high speeds in curves, i would never even attempt that, absolutely crazy thinking his car could take it
We didn't always have them. My 1966 was the first car I bought new and I ordered them special. I think the 67 model year was the first year they were a federal law.
A shoulder and lap combo belt isn’t going to stop you from getting ejected at 160 anyways. There’s cases of people being partially ejected in lower speeds collisions who were wearing seat belts, that failed to hold them in. The old cab over semi trucks were notorious for ejecting drivers in collisions regardless of wearing a seat belt or not.
I once had a paramedic once tell me he’s “Never pulled a dead dude out of a seatbelt…” I looked at him and said “So you just leave him there? You are SICK!”
@@te4bag_k1ngp1nif criminals showed respect for laws maybe they wouldn’t have problems? Get caught be a man and face the charges, don’t be a punk and run…. Nothing good comes from running, death or more charges ON VIDEO! Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Tell the criminals to start acting more professional when interacting with LEO and maybe they’ll get some courtesy and professionalism in return. 🤷♂️ kinda how life works as a whole.
@@te4bag_k1ngp1ni agree, they're beyond reckless. He knew who the driver was, yet he decided a 140 mph chase on a 2 lane highway at night was worth it. Also driving 100 on a back road with residential properties on both sides and noticed how his car launched and nearly lost control.
I witnessed a accident were the driver was ejected from his vehicle, he shot out of the drivers window like he being sent into space, his hands were down at his side like he was pogo dancing. he flew a good 30' in the air and came down right on the HWY and his car was rolling over and over, not a second went by after he landed did his cars roof roll right over him and popped him like a grape. the car ended up on it's wheels and rolled to a stop. He was hot rodding through traffic weaving in and out between cars and lost it right in front of me. Traffic just drove around him as I did and that was a sight I will never forget.
When I was in high school I worked at a place right along the highway, one day during the winter a lady rolled her van right in front of us. I don't know if she was drunk or what, but the windows were open and she got halfway out while it was rolling and it removed her upper body. We jumped over the short fence and ran over to help and she was smeared all over the place. Wear your seatbelt.
That cop is gangster the way he’s calling out the driver but mad respect to him, the rest of the police officers and first responders for dealing with these horrible events.
@@reddsshaker3477 I know but it still makes my brain hurt. I can't believe how many times I've watched someone turn an incident that would've been a warning, small fine, etc into a laundry list of felonies, properly damage and injury to innocent bystanders is mind numbing.
@@Shastasnow I know and it's only made society infinitely worse. Personal responsibility seems to be something 90% Millilenials, 99.9% Gen Z's and Gen Alpha's have fatal allergy to. I'm beyond thankful to be a Gen X'ers and raised to think critically, think for myself, have a work ethic, was taught that I was entitled to none other to not be abused/harmed, a roof over my head, food, and clothing, to not be a low information voter, possess a sense of self awareness, self respect, and be able to hold conversations and debate ppl based on facts and not emotions, and treat ppl with common decency and at the very least civility. All of these things have served me well countless times. Bring back the time of kid's being kid's, playing outside, limited to no internet/social media until an age appropriate, and most interesting: Parents actually acting like parents and holding their offspring accountable for their actions. Alot of this stems from parents and others who are influencenal believing in this softer, kinder, gentler parenting. All parents now believe their children are God's gift to humanity and NEVER do anything wrong.....till the complete lack of accountability gets some or someone's killed.
That officer is pulling it out of his a$$. He cant possibly know how fast he was going. He never went over 100, until after the driver was long gone. He had already been wrecked for a little bit, before he ever caught up to him. The driver didnt have to fo more than 100 to pull away from the officer. I highly doubt a Challenger is hitting 160 on a track, let alone a back country road. If it was a Hellcat, sure, but not a Challenger.
@@cmsmith1973Depends where you are from because in Germany people normally do these speeds. Autobahn has no speed limit and it’s normal for people living in Germany.
@@carllennen3520 I mean at one point in the pursuit the officers gps indicates a speed of 140mph and he’s not gaining on the suspect. I’m pretty sure the officer has a good idea how fast the car may have been going.
It’s pretty telling the professionalism of the cops that they call out to help him instead of yelling with their guns pointed at the car for 30 minutes. While I’m sure they both were aware he may have been ejected and didn’t feel the need to do that it’s still comforting that they cared more for finding him and rendering aid over staying on the side of the road for EMS.
the trooper called out to make sure everyone’s doors were locked (meaning other responding units). There’s a lot of videos out there were a person in handcuffs steals a police car. That was the first time I’ve ever heard a trooper or police officer call that out.
It's smart because patrol cars have been stolen before after they think they knew where the suspect went only to realize he had circled back to the patrol cars.
but to think after someone crashes at 160mph they r going to jump up shot u then steal the police car n flee of course he was laying out in tht field dieing DUH
@@jackie4124 oh he was dead on impact. You don't hit a ditch, go through a windshield, and land on the ground that far away and survive. Police officers are not medics though so they're only thinking about "Is he still a threat?". Frankly, we had a guy on a motorcycle doing 100mphs, get the death wobble, managed to hit the side guard rail, and flung himself I think they said 200' into a 15' snowdrift, and lived. Someone who saw him do it, figured out where he had landed because he was screaming for help because he thought he was going to suffocate in the snow. He was psychologically messed up, but survived.
Every video on here with Arkansas State troopers… they’re all like this officer. Remain calm, professional, absolutely aware of everything around them, they don’t bark orders or yell and scream at people… I think they’re calm demeanour disarms most criminals! 🤣 That one video where the trooper pulls over 2 guys in a rented white small GM SUV, it’s loaded with fentanyl & cocaine and the trooper puts each guys in cuffs one at a time, calmly and no issues. They could have jumped him and likely would have been able to overpower him, they had a lot of drugs worth 100’s of thousands, that usually motivates people to make dumb choices. That officer was just like this trooper, just as cool as could be. I’m not a fan of most police because we see the crap these bad cops are doing more and more on camera, but you have to give credit for good officers when we see them! ASP appear to know how to hire and train good police. 👍🏼☮️
I would scold the officer and the justice system. Shame on them for being hypocrites and murders. Officers actions got this man killed. What sense does it make to try and stop a crime with commiting the same crime??? THEY HAVE HIS LICENSE PLATE SHOULDNT THAT BE ENOUGH TO CATCH HIM. NAH WE GOTTA DRIVE 160 PAST INNOCENT DRIVERS TO CATCH SOMEONE DOING 160 PASSED INNOCENT DRIVERS. SEE HOW THATS INSANE?
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, there HAS TO be better ways of handling a situation like this. 1 speeding car is bad enough and 2 are only worse. Unless there’sa victim in the car bleeding to death or something I don’tsee why they can’t catch up some other how. What was his initial crime anyway? Was it just speeding? I hope not cause that’s DEFINITELY not a god around reason to put the public in danger and cause damage to the vehicle tax payers paid for hitting them holes like that.
@@DaniF-wp4iu yep just speeding. And yea they have his license plate which tells the owner of the car and their address. Literally 0 point to chase him but they will say otherwise. Even tho in every situation they think they know it all and we must follow all orders bc theres a purpose to it. Its bs people are just brainwashed into listenin to the governments orders, that may have camr outta nowhere but it applies to the police and its true.
Imagine you had a reck and you look down and your guts are hanging out of your body and I can promise you would be more than glad to pay your taxes knowing that a police officer was there calling for a ambulance yeah I don't think you will be crying about paying more taxes at all
On what? No lie kinda dumb on both ends they’re told to evade certain situations with certain speeds for this exact reason besides the man losing his life the officer could have as well or could’ve crashed into an innocent person thank god it didn’t happen but all of this could’ve been prevented multiple times on both ends
Respect and don't try to speed away cause the officers have families who want the to come home! We all should give a shout out to all our brave men and women who are the hero's, when I see an officer, sheriff, city police, highway patrol my first words are THANK YOU! Lets all do this out of the way they keep us safe.
What a great group of team players, respectful but cautious, constant sharing of information.. very concerned for each other. If the driver wasn't a good person at the end of the day, he has family, friends who lost him. He mad the worst decision of his life. Prayers to all ya'll. And his loved ones. What a team,!
Something similar happen to kids I went to High School with in 74. That was before seat belts were a big deal. 5 kids never graduated, 5 families didn't get to feel the pride of watching someone walk the stage .
Was 16 and with my Drunk 18 Year old cousin in1973 and He ran an red light in front of Ohio St Patrol ,we were in an 1966 chevelle SS and we went off the road at 115 mph rolled the car twice across the opposite side of road and hit 15 splitrail fence posts and side rails then an tree all on my passenger door which caved the car in half crushing me ,heard them say I was Dead and guess I moaned . They had to cut me out of the car ,Fractured my Neck ,broke all of my right rib cage which pierced and collapsed my lung ,Dislocated my Right shoulder with numerous Lacerations ,I came too and they were giving me last rights ,Doc’s put an Nail spike on my chest and drove it in with an hammer to put in Chest tube into lung ,they had to Shock my heart twice passed out was in an Coma for two weeks and in intensive care for allmost an month ,lost 35 lbs ,My Cousin whom had an Heart contusion and neck Sprain -Whiplash had exited the Vehicle and ran but was captured .I had chest tube I’v’s both arms on Oxygen and Recieved pain shots in butt cheeks every 4 hours ,they didn’t put it in IV’s back then ,My Uncle brought my Cousin in to see me and said you think you got hurt but look at this ,my Cousin was still bruised up after two weeks ,and I said You think that looks bad wait till I get out of here! Forgave Him about 10 years later but at 67 years old now still have pain ! PS Ohio St Patrolman visited me and said If I had ,had the seatbelt on I would have Died !so was against them for years until got an job at an Utility Co and were mandatory ! Never ride without them now!
Thank you Trooper Morphis . Each and everyone ASP does great job. Very professional. I believe Trooper Morphis was so sincere as he called and said “ let me help you , I know you are hurt “ . God Bless you sir .
I appreciate and acknowledge how professional the officer was. I believe he saw how severe the accident was and truly wanted to help the suspect... These guys are human also, despite what a few bad ones have done to their reputation.
I’m amazed at the guy’s eyesight!!! I watched that footage back ten times before he turned around and couldn’t spot anything in the ditch. Not to mention how he knew which way to turn every time 🤯 - just amazing.
The human mk1 eyeball is more sensitive than a digital camera, especially the ones fitted to the car. Even a full frame pro camera can't see as much as your own eyes.
The obituaries around the area made it sound like a tragic car accident that a beloved member of their town got into as he failed to navigate a turn and went into an embankment, losing his life in a sudden unexpected way. No mention of him fleeing police at 160 mph and that it was noones fault but his own.
Obituaries aren't usually full of condemnation. Maybe if your family really hated you. "Jimmy was an idiot to the very end. Never could handle sharp curves. He also stole my bike when he was 10"
#1 problem with Challengers is the lack of an actual racing seatbelt. Should be required on all cars that can exceed 160, much less on the scat and hellcat version.
Geeze man... Thank you officers for what you do! Screaming down the road at insane speeds on roads designed for MUCH less then finding someone dead. Y'all are incredible for doing what you do for such sub par pay (per what you deal with) then dealing with all the scrutiny. You are appreciated!
I know what it feels to wreck at 160 mph! It’s still no fun even when you prepare for wreck like this and I still got the wind knocked out of me on the set of Days of Thunder Unit 2 shooting back in 1990. I was about 28 years old then. I had all kinds of safety gear on and was packed in Styrofoam with additional cage bars welded in place. This was a stunt that Buddy Joe Hooker, the Stunt Coordinator ask for volunteers for but still had to be approved and pass doctors exams prior to the stunt being preformed. I can tell that even with air bags and no safety gear added, this man was a goner! 😢
I can't even imagine the velocity of the situation, the force of driving that fast and then suddenly coming to a full stop and crashing, would turn anyone into mush and that's so scary. I don't know anything about the driver reason for fleeing and he put tons of people in danger, however, it's crazy to think someone going about their day and then this happens. Would like to know more about why he ran, he must have owed some time.
As a former first responder you never get these scenes out of your head. Picking up a body that is so broken it is like trying to hold a water balloon where all the liquid inside the skin just shifts from side to side as you remove it.
They need to show people (especially kids) the effects of such a violent crash on the human body. For starters even with airbags and seat belts the body may be stopped but the internal organs aren’t and the come out anywhere and everywhere there’s a opening and you can imagine if doors and numbers that were bolted on get torn off, well you get the picture and unfortunately the first responders get the picture also speaking of that they have time off counseling etc including disability pay for first responders but the lowly tow truck driver rarely even gets a simple thank you
The officer sai9d there was a bag of weed in the field. This could be why he ran. Also he might have had a suspended driver's license, as many with high-speed cars do.

Fatal Report:
V1 WAS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND FAILED TO NEGOTIATE A LEFT-HAND CURVE IN THE ROADWAY. V1 EXITED THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT. V1 THEN OVERTURNED AND EJECTED THE DRIVER. V1 CAME TO FINAL REST UPRIGHT FACING WEST IN THE ROADSIDE DITCH.
www.ark.org/asp-fatal/index.php?do=view_reports&accident_number=477&year_rec=2023
For some reason when I read “V1” I thought, “Rotate.”
“V1. Rotate.”
He was a waste of sperm 😂
Positive rate of climb, gears up
I imagine the driver was found about 20-30 yards from where the steering wheel was found (@1 o'clock 9:42 - 9:44), he must have put one hell of a death grip on that steering wheel, and sailed through the air with it. 12:39 Trooper Morphis locates a bag of weed and a flip-flop @ 11 o'clock (V1 at 12 o'clock), that aligns with the 1 o'clock. That is one hell of a flight path DeeRoh took, just can't see what he hit at about the 2 o'clock position that spun the vehicle landing it towards the west. At 160 mph, he face planted that airbag, wouldn't be surprised if stuck to his face.
Those guys are the best in southeast Arkansas. You can hear the compassion in Trooper Morphis voice because he knew the driver. My heart goes out for the ones that worked the scene. Also to the families of the driver. Great job guys!
Damn, you know its a bad crash when they cannot even find the driver
They did however find the steering wheel.....
he was probably a puddle in that field. hard to see a wet spot in the dark. 160 is no joke
just being flung out of the side of a bouncy castle is enough to wind me these daze, 160mph woooweee thats some dukes of hazard sh*t!!!

Back in the 70s it was called Signal 30, Highway Patrol signal for DUI/Death in vehicle. We called them 41I/48 in my county. Made a believer outta me, cars and speed can kill. Seen and called many of them dead on the scene as an EMS provider. I see it continues today. Shame, wasted lives.

Truth! It's usually the innocent ones that get hurt😢
Great point! 👍🏻 That's what's important about this!
That driver had no care for anyone, not even himself. Sad.
Yes, That's a job best left to the police professionals who do it for a living.
A belt can keep a feller in the car. A belt can hold a feller's pants up. A belt, properly used by a feller's daddy, might prevent a son from even considering fleeing in the first place.
Couldn’t agree more!

@@taylormade710I'm married to a man who is a first responder (fire department/ambulance), and my brain can't hardly handle hearing the details so I've never understood how he could actually see all this stuff with his eyes.

He started out as a police officer, but most people can't stand the police. That's an extremely difficult job because you have to do and see all these horrendous things and nobody likes you. At least most people like and appreciate firefighters.
This reminded me of a story My mother used to tell me about an accident her cousin was in. A bunch of drunk kids hit them, and caused a roll over in a field. The drunk/high kids were laughing because her cousins husband was searching around in the tall grass, on his hands and knees for their baby that had been ejected from the car. (This was the late 60's, before seat belts and baby seats were mandatory.) He ended up snapping and beating one of the kids half to death. Turned out, the baby was deceased, under the overturned car. They found it when the wrecker flipped the car over. Cops refused to arrest the husband for the assault. Things were different back then.
Dang!!! Only half
So sad 😢🙏🏼
Jesus.
😢😢 In Santa Ana CA back in 2006 the apartments I lived at police were called on a father that had his 3 yr old daughter sat down on a hot plate bc she wouldn't stop crying the responding officers had to restrained one of their own bc he beat the crap out of the father. I saw from my window how he tossed him out his window and beat him in the front patio. But the worst part was the little girl screaming "daddy daddy" 😭
@@denitzilla thats horrible (What the dad did, not the cop). I know that if it wasnupntonmost of us, we would not hold the cop liable, but the reality is cops are not judge, jury and executioner. If you let this slide, where's the line? The cop probably screwed his career, and gave the "father" a ghetto lottery pay day. In hind sight, the cop probably should have stuffed down the anger, and did his job. Things have changed a lot since the 60's.

@@rahulsudhir666 "darwin award" how do you know he didnt reproduce
This is one thing I worry of when I'm driving home after a night shift. I live out in the country in South Carolina, and some of the roads have 55+ MPH speed limits (in the South 45+ on a country road gives you pretty good clearance to enjoy some spirited driving, because police don't commonly patrol those roads). That said, wildlife is a terrifying variable. Deer, raccoons, strays, etc, and it's absolutely terrifying, because it's very common we see roadkill and car debris out and about on these roads. These roads are also definitely NOT smooth or healthy enough to run 160 MPH.

would be interesting to know how far he sailed,, whats odd is the car doesnt seem to have flipped many time if any due to its location right next to the road.. and according to the laws of physics, going around a right turn, the car would roll from right to left, and if it flipped on its back, he would still be in the car.. Unless he over corrected , and it flipped left to right , then it might make sense.. anyhoo DEERO IS NO MO...
Can we take a moment to give a shout-out to the shocks in the trooper's vehicle? Takin' that dirt road with potholes at 110 mph was epic!
Not to mention large private parts
Looked like he might have been airborne at 3:18
It's the same chassis as the Challenger, the Charger pursuit. Mercedes E Class suspension bits. 👀
I knew a guy who worked at a Ford/Chrysler
assembly plant in Ontario. They produced the police Crown Vic’s there too. Legend has it that sometimes on C shift one of these road beasts would be driven off the line for some recreational time in a out of the way area of the lot.
I myself worked at a tier two supplier factory as a forklift operator. In winter there was an outdoor machine rented for us to use if racking etc needed to be brought in/out. There were ample shenanigans happening with that thing on B shift so I have no reason to doubt the voracity of the Crown Vic story. Those Marauders were well known and could lay serious rubber.

That's what happens when the driver is not as good as he thinks he is. Thank goodness he didn't take anyone else out. At that speed they would be red mist.
When the driver is too stupid to wear a seat belt, too.
No seatbelt is a big one. But I suspect he would be dead at that speed just from the crash. In NASCAR and Indy those speeds kill drivers who had on helmets and 5 point harnesses.

People don't realize how the road changes at 125+ mph. Even the weight of the car seems to change. A small hump in the road can make you go airborne. We don't normally drive at those speeds so people don't realize until its too late. There's no way a street car could make that flat turn at those speeds. I don't know why the guy ran but I doubt it was worth dying for.
Especially at night. You start outrunning your headlights at about 100 mph, so at 160 you'd have no hope to slow for a corner.

Yeah, a high school friend had his brother take us on a surprise ride, his car began to hydro-plane at 140 MPH. All the white lines in the center became one. I was in the back sit , I buckled up, asked him to slow down. I knew he didn’t have the skills or talent to handle his car. But his brother , kept telling him go faster. I’m here to tell my story, the dude got into drugs and stuff, I guess people want uncontrolled life style. Grim Reaper is just around the corner .
I’m amazed the trooper was able to follow him, I lost sight of him a long time ago. Lol. Hats off to the police that have to deal this on a daily basis
If you watch police chases from Arkansas they're pretty good at keeping the fleeing suspect in sight even though they are far away. I don't know if they have infrared to track a speeding car but they are able to keep on their tails.
You gotta remember, your eyes have unlimited resolution. Your computer monitor, phone, TV, or MP3 player has a limited resolution and can't display everything, and the cameras are a limit point to. Things like contrast and pinpoint detail get lost after a certain point.

Yeah because initiating a high speed chase on a vehicle when you already have the plate and before that already knew who was driving costing a member of the public there life is PROFESSIONAL. Fire him for failing to uphold his oath.

If the officer knew the driver, the high-speed chase was unnecessary. Best course of action is to stay calm, don't chase, let driver think they have escaped, and they will slow down. They can be picked up at a later time for speeding, fleeing, etc...

I can drive pretty well, But I don't know about better than 135 when you need to use your wipers on speed instead of delay! That's kinda pushing it!!
I give straight props to this officer he stayed absolutely professional and extremely calm great job .
I have no idea how law enforcement can drive so fast during the night like this! I can barely see at going 60mph anymore. Props ❤
It's called high performance driver training. Police departments don't let just anybody climb behind the wheel. America has enough carnage on the roads without adding police light bars and sirens to the recipe.
They have a GPS on the dash, so they can tell what the roads are like
@@pre1980cars In a police Charger?... Not very fast (they have brake problems). But they do have that pusher plate in front. That helps considerably, as does the structural re-enforcement of the front end police Chargers have.
Good thing you’re not a cop. 🙄
They do at extreme risk to themselves.
You can tell in the was the officer was talking he’s had multiple run ins with the deceased and he genuinely cared about trying to save his life
I am impressed by the officers skilled driving scene management, and care for the driver wanting to help him, cool and calm during the chase, and you could hear the release of his adrenalin after he found the vehicle, a job not easily done by anyone, sir I applaud you for the fine job you do, protecting and upholding the law, I thank you
Can't save people from themselves, period.
Driving 160 with no seat-belt is pretty dumb-js
@@davidwest3847nah we thought it was smart
We are our own worst enemies .
Amazing scene control by Officer Morphis. To be mindful of the possible outcomes if the driver was still active. Reminding all responding to watch cross fire, keeping units locked / no keys, looking out for walkers along the road, etc. Very much on point and heightened situational awareness.
Yes 👍
Most cops are masons...satanist...I guess satan needed a scarifice cops are so willing to serve!!!
Stupid to look for someone walking after doing 160 and rolling 🙄
Thought the doors locked command was pretty good...even tho highly unlikely
Nobody gonna walk from. A 160 roll..in a non race car without a cage...even in a Tesla too.
Just because your car can do 160, doesn’t mean you should
The irony of the crash taking place across from the prison is eerie.
Maybe more poetic.
Sounds like this guy was well known by the police. He was probably gonna end his life there one way or another.
That's not irony.
They end up there anyway lol
Man I tripped out when I heard that
And the cops yelling at a dead man….
I’m sorry but there’s absolutely 0% chance he’s alive, much less walking/running anywhere, totaling a vehicle going 160mph!!!!
true, but i'm not sorry. just desserts.
You'd think. But there a actually lots of examples that prove otherwise. Just saw another recent "160" Ark pursuit of a Black Charger/Challenger launch after hitting a slightly elevated train crossing and ejected the driver. Just broke his leg. Found him fully conscious. But the craziest one that comes to mind is from like the 90s. A Corvette doing 120 hits the back corner of a big rig trailer and it just explodes spinning wildly. Dude was uninjured except for one or two scratches. Just him left him sitting on the side of road. It's a must watch. It was still available on YT last time I looked for it.
@@jaybingham3711I saw it, the luckiest driver alive. On the other hand,we had a man who died hitting a neighbours gate at maybe 15mph tops - aorta rupture. There's so many things at play but the observation that drunks make it more than their innocent victims often holds true, unfortunately.
driving at those speeds, on those roads! Total respect to the officers here. That takes absolutely every fibre of your body and mind to do that. To then suddenly change, still control your adrenaline and deal with the aftermath with compassion and professionalism is nothing short of hero level.
🙄or just a symptom of sociopathic tendencies
nailed it@@Useracct-m9s
I'm sad for people like you who can't see the big picture clearly. Your single minded, simplistic, sheep mentalities that tell you things like "Cop good, Criminal bad" leads you to conclusions that a speeding criminal who's putting innocent lives in danger is a moron but a cop doing the exact same thing is a Hero and deserves your admiration. Sorry, he's a bigger moron because it's his job to NOT put innocent lives in harms way. With all the resources law enforcement has at their disposal and the oath they take to protect and serve, there is no excuse for the poor judgement that this officer exhibited. He had no chance of catching this car unless he kept him running fast enough to crash out. Which could just as easily have been into an oncoming vehicle carrying innocent families. A hero would have used good judgement and common sense, backed off and coordinated with other officers to apprehend the suspect in a safer location and manner. He knew the guy well enough to call out his nickname so it's not like he was going to get away with running from him. He exhibited nothing even close to compassion or professionalism. His only goal in calling out to him was to illicit a response so he'd know where he needed to point his gun. He wasn't even smart enough to figure out how to release his rifle from its mount. Calling out to the guy was just a tactic to locate his victim in case he had a gun. There were no heros in this video. Just two criminals. The one who ran and the one the people of the State of Arkansas paid for the crimes he committed.
@@Useracct-m9s hmm..I wonder how people would describe you
@@Useracct-m9s i mean yeah but also this is what cops are supposed to do
Trooper: D. Rogue let me help ya bid dawg I know ya hurt.
D. Rogue: *still on his way down after ejecting*
The way that officer trail braked into those corners from 130 down to 70 made me proud.
I was just thinking damn man top respect for driving at night at those speeds
Especially on those Arkansan roads
Man that cop can drive. Props.
That’s got to be scary for the cops to have to approach a vehicle in the dark, and not knowing if the driver has a gun!
There's something that most drivers are not aware of is that regular tires are not designed or built for those high speeds. Cop cars have specials that are built for high speeds. 40 years ago, one specially made tire for a cop car cost over $300.
It was a Challenger, so he might have had tires like that, but the car was designed to be fast in a straight line. They're not meant to negotiate curves at 160mph.
my challenger has tires priced at 430 a piece, perilis, most challengers have good tires that can handle higher speeds, but, given he probably drove wreckless often, they may have been bald or close to it
that being said, these cars are way too heavy for high speeds in curves, i would never even attempt that, absolutely crazy thinking his car could take it
The fact that even though he took off and All he wanted to do was help him is beyond amazing
Yeah because he knew the guy was likely dead and no longer presented a threat .. so he followed protocol. Good cop
I think he thinks he got ejected..
They wanted to take him to jail, fool
You think cops take it personally when people take off on them? That would be the cops that shouldn't be cops.
@@Dylan-id3og100% right.. treat every person as a person regardless that's how it's supposed to be
how you drive that fast without a seatbelt is beyond me
We didn't always have them. My 1966 was the first car I bought new and I ordered them special. I think the 67 model year was the first year they were a federal law.
A shoulder and lap combo belt isn’t going to stop you from getting ejected at 160 anyways. There’s cases of people being partially ejected in lower speeds collisions who were wearing seat belts, that failed to hold them in. The old cab over semi trucks were notorious for ejecting drivers in collisions regardless of wearing a seat belt or not.
You don’t do anything anymore except turn to dust
. . . death wish. BEYOND STUPID.
I once had a paramedic once tell me he’s “Never pulled a dead dude out of a seatbelt…”
I looked at him and said “So you just leave him there? You are SICK!”
Well…he fixed stupid…all on his own!
Unfortunately just around him
Self correcting problem.
Oh no....Ron was wrong! You can fix stupid.

@@te4bag_k1ngp1ni agree, they're beyond reckless. He knew who the driver was, yet he decided a 140 mph chase on a 2 lane highway at night was worth it. Also driving 100 on a back road with residential properties on both sides and noticed how his car launched and nearly lost control.
I witnessed a accident were the driver was ejected from his vehicle, he shot out of the drivers window like he being sent into space, his hands were down at his side like he was pogo dancing. he flew a good 30' in the air and came down right on the HWY and his car was rolling over and over, not a second went by after he landed did his cars roof roll right over him and popped him like a grape. the car ended up on it's wheels and rolled to a stop. He was hot rodding through traffic weaving in and out between cars and lost it right in front of me. Traffic just drove around him as I did and that was a sight I will never forget.
Wow. Would like to see a video of that.
😮 what a nightmare😮💨🙏
@@Me97202Grow up.
When I was in high school I worked at a place right along the highway, one day during the winter a lady rolled her van right in front of us. I don't know if she was drunk or what, but the windows were open and she got halfway out while it was rolling and it removed her upper body. We jumped over the short fence and ran over to help and she was smeared all over the place. Wear your seatbelt.

160 miles an hour? Wow, no one is going to be walking around after getting ejected at that speed.That is crazy.

@@cmsmith1973 GFYS Commie
That officer is pulling it out of his a$$. He cant possibly know how fast he was going. He never went over 100, until after the driver was long gone. He had already been wrecked for a little bit, before he ever caught up to him.
The driver didnt have to fo more than 100 to pull away from the officer. I highly doubt a Challenger is hitting 160 on a track, let alone a back country road. If it was a Hellcat, sure, but not a Challenger.
@@cmsmith1973Depends where you are from because in Germany people normally do these speeds. Autobahn has no speed limit and it’s normal for people living in Germany.
@@carllennen3520 I mean at one point in the pursuit the officers gps indicates a speed of 140mph and he’s not gaining on the suspect. I’m pretty sure the officer has a good idea how fast the car may have been going.
It’s pretty telling the professionalism of the cops that they call out to help him instead of yelling with their guns pointed at the car for 30 minutes. While I’m sure they both were aware he may have been ejected and didn’t feel the need to do that it’s still comforting that they cared more for finding him and rendering aid over staying on the side of the road for EMS.
the trooper called out to make sure everyone’s doors were locked (meaning other responding units). There’s a lot of videos out there were a person in handcuffs steals a police car. That was the first time I’ve ever heard a trooper or police officer call that out.
It's smart because patrol cars have been stolen before after they think they knew where the suspect went only to realize he had circled back to the patrol cars.
I noticed that too and I'm guessing that it's happened enough to where they need to be aware and remember to lock the doors.
but to think after someone crashes at 160mph they r going to jump up shot u then steal the police car n flee of course he was laying out in tht field dieing DUH
@@jackie4124 oh he was dead on impact. You don't hit a ditch, go through a windshield, and land on the ground that far away and survive. Police officers are not medics though so they're only thinking about "Is he still a threat?".
Frankly, we had a guy on a motorcycle doing 100mphs, get the death wobble, managed to hit the side guard rail, and flung himself I think they said 200' into a 15' snowdrift, and lived. Someone who saw him do it, figured out where he had landed because he was screaming for help because he thought he was going to suffocate in the snow. He was psychologically messed up, but survived.
. Went thru the windshield? WRONG
Props to the Trooper, calm, professional, head on a swivel.
I like how he reminded fellow responders to lock their cruisers so one wouldn't get commandeered, he was thinking
Every video on here with Arkansas State troopers… they’re all like this officer. Remain calm, professional, absolutely aware of everything around them, they don’t bark orders or yell and scream at people… I think they’re calm demeanour disarms most criminals! 🤣 That one video where the trooper pulls over 2 guys in a rented white small GM SUV, it’s loaded with fentanyl & cocaine and the trooper puts each guys in cuffs one at a time, calmly and no issues. They could have jumped him and likely would have been able to overpower him, they had a lot of drugs worth 100’s of thousands, that usually motivates people to make dumb choices. That officer was just like this trooper, just as cool as could be. I’m not a fan of most police because we see the crap these bad cops are doing more and more on camera, but you have to give credit for good officers when we see them! ASP appear to know how to hire and train good police. 👍🏼☮️
I would scold the officer and the justice system. Shame on them for being hypocrites and murders. Officers actions got this man killed. What sense does it make to try and stop a crime with commiting the same crime??? THEY HAVE HIS LICENSE PLATE SHOULDNT THAT BE ENOUGH TO CATCH HIM. NAH WE GOTTA DRIVE 160 PAST INNOCENT DRIVERS TO CATCH SOMEONE DOING 160 PASSED INNOCENT DRIVERS. SEE HOW THATS INSANE?
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, there HAS TO be better ways of handling a situation like this. 1 speeding car is bad enough and 2 are only worse. Unless there’sa victim in the car bleeding to death or something I don’tsee why they can’t catch up some other how. What was his initial crime anyway? Was it just speeding? I hope not cause that’s DEFINITELY not a god around reason to put the public in danger and cause damage to the vehicle tax payers paid for hitting them holes like that.
@@DaniF-wp4iu yep just speeding. And yea they have his license plate which tells the owner of the car and their address. Literally 0 point to chase him but they will say otherwise.

Its bs people are just brainwashed into listenin to the governments orders, that may have camr outta nowhere but it applies to the police and its true.

#1 problem with Challengers is the lack of an actual racing seatbelt. Should be required on all cars that can exceed 160, much less on the scat and hellcat version.
Unless you’re racing the challenger, there is no need for the harness. Ideally, you aren’t driving 160 in the day to day commute
Or just stop building road cars that can go that fast
@leglessinoz right. There's absolutely no sense in it
Just genius…how about not driving 160mph
deadcrow, the number one problem is they are made to go that fast There is not reason to go that fast. American roadways are not racetracks
Geeze man... Thank you officers for what you do! Screaming down the road at insane speeds on roads designed for MUCH less then finding someone dead. Y'all are incredible for doing what you do for such sub par pay (per what you deal with) then dealing with all the scrutiny.
You are appreciated!
I know what it feels to wreck at 160 mph! It’s still no fun even when you prepare for wreck like this and I still got the wind knocked out of me on the set of Days of Thunder Unit 2 shooting back in 1990. I was about 28 years old then. I had all kinds of safety gear on and was packed in Styrofoam with additional cage bars welded in place. This was a stunt that Buddy Joe Hooker, the Stunt Coordinator ask for volunteers for but still had to be approved and pass doctors exams prior to the stunt being preformed.
I can tell that even with air bags and no safety gear added, this man was a goner! 😢
Some say DRO is still flying... the legend of D RO
I can't even imagine the velocity of the situation, the force of driving that fast and then suddenly coming to a full stop and crashing, would turn anyone into mush and that's so scary. I don't know anything about the driver reason for fleeing and he put tons of people in danger, however, it's crazy to think someone going about their day and then this happens. Would like to know more about why he ran, he must have owed some time.
As a wise man once said "Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you"
They mentioned finding drugs on the road, there was probably more scattered around. I guess that is one way to avoid prison.
As a former first responder you never get these scenes out of your head. Picking up a body that is so broken it is like trying to hold a water balloon where all the liquid inside the skin just shifts from side to side as you remove it.
They need to show people (especially kids) the effects of such a violent crash on the human body. For starters even with airbags and seat belts the body may be stopped but the internal organs aren’t and the come out anywhere and everywhere there’s a opening and you can imagine if doors and numbers that were bolted on get torn off, well you get the picture and unfortunately the first responders get the picture also speaking of that they have time off counseling etc including disability pay for first responders but the lowly tow truck driver rarely even gets a simple thank you
The officer sai9d there was a bag of weed in the field. This could be why he ran. Also he might have had a suspended driver's license, as many with high-speed cars do.
