Police chase ends in car yard carnage

A US car chase ended in tears overnight – for two car dealers.

The pursuit of an SUV in in Walton Hills, Ohio, involved six police departments, speeds of 150km/h, code clashes and a big headache for two neighbouring car yards.

“Way too fast, way too dangerous,” said local cop Rich Rykalla.

A high-speed pursuit is enough of a problem, but differing police procedures between departments meant while some called the chase off, others didn’t.

The SUV had almost evaded the whole official contingent when the driver lost control, crashing into six cars at two dealerships.

Ganley and Kane’s Auto Exchange were the big losers in the incident, with Michael Kane telling NewsNet5: “There were car parts all over the sidewalk, tree lawn, entrance.”
