Instant Karma's gonna get'cha

So here's these idiots down in Sanford, Florida who pack themselves into a Chevrolet Avalanche and try to run from the police, not once, but apparently twice in 24 hours. The first time, police declined to pursue the vehicle after it fled during an attempted traffic stop. But when officers saw it later and tried to stop it again, it tore off a second time and even though the police again did not chase it, it ran down city streets and through yards hitting insanely high speeds. Then it hit something else: A parked train.
BAM!

SANFORD, Fla. -- Five people were killed when the truck they were riding in -- earlier pursued by police -- slammed into a stopped freight train, authorities said. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said it is clear from helicopter video they released Wednesday afternoon that no one involved in the effort to apprehend the truck's driver was breaking the rules of engagement for car chases.

Seminole County sheriff's Lt. Dennis Lemma said the 2004 Chevy Avalanche was going 74 mph when it hit the 62-car freight train Tuesday night. He said Sanford police tried to pull the truck over early Tuesday morning for a routine stop, but the driver took off. The same officer saw the truck that night and radioed sheriff's deputies for help after it refused to yield.

Lemma said deputies sent a helicopter to monitor the vehicle, and all ground pursuit was called off in accordance with sheriff's office policy. He said at one point the driver turned off the truck's lights to avoid being watched.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the crossing arms at the intersection were down with lights flashing at the time of the crash. Highway Patrol Sgt. Jorge Delahoz said witnesses on the train's crew told investigators the truck wasn't being chased by police.

The driver was Jason James Fitzgerald, 22, of Longwood, Delahoz said. FHP first identified the driver as a 21-year-old from DeBary, but said later that was incorrect.

Three other victims were William H. Richardson, 54, of Sanford; Mary E. Reil, 17, of Sanford and Jeffrey Daniels, 48, of Longwood. The identity of the fifth victim was not immediately available. Four of the victims died at the scene, but Daniels was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Investigators found drug paraphernalia in the crushed truck, but still aren't sure why the driver was fleeing. Investigators said several of the victims had extensive criminal records that include incidents of armed violence and drug charges.

So we see again when happens when shitbird criminals and drug users (I wonder if any of them ever went to school in Boulder, CO?)try to run from the law. Kind of reminds me of the advice I got from an old southern cop instructor back when I was just starting my pursuit driver's training: "Son, never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly."

And here's the news helicopter video footage showing the crash. It takes place about a minute and a half into the clip (after the crass commercial message) and even with no sound and infrared footage only, it's pretty strong stuff.

Five less shitbirds in my country tonight. So long to Jason James Fitzgerald, William H. Richardson, Mary E. Reil, Jeffrey Daniels and the other unnamed loser who died while trying to escape justice. You could have injured or killed any number of innocent people or police officers but fortunately you only killed yourselves. You won't be missed.
