Awesome if you count watching a murder as awesome i guess....

F'in prick is rotting in hell right about now...

Don't know why the cops didn't do more to stop the idiot when he was on the straight away. Wonder if this will change up the "high speed chase" laws..

That’s exactly why the police won’t chase you around here unless you have committed a violent felony.

Nobody’s life is worth the pursuit of a stolen car.

There's both sides to that coin. Engaging in a pursuit...the perp attempts to flee by driving at high speeds.

Yet..from what I can see in this video, no police were chasing him...he was driving balls out just for the heck of it. There should be a desire to get this idiot off the road before he kills an innocent. Whoops..too late.

This morning on the news, they talked about the governor of CT building a task force to deal with teenage drivers and all the fatal accidents. Members of this task force will be parents who lost their teens in these accidents. I sat there wondering to myself..."Do any of these parents grasp the fact that it's not the smartest idea to buy little Johnnie a 300+ horsepower super rice rocket for his first car on his 17th birthday with less than a years driving experience?"

Dirver was 25, a wanted felon.

Victim 24, male, muslim last name.

Police report it as no accident - an intentional suicide attempt.

A lot of the crashes have been in regular 160-200hp cars. A task force of parents that lost their kids to accidents like that? Sounds like a poor idea, what is this task force going to do?

He should have just cut the wheel really quick and hit the e-brake. Going fast enough he would have flipped multiple times and probably been thrown out. Would have been a way more spectacular crash and he wouldn't have had to take someone else's life, but his own.

No, he was being chased. If you noticed right after the crash two cop cars showed up.
