(USGovernment-News.Com, December 14, 2013 ) Columbus, OH – Footage of a fatal Columbus accident captured on police officer dash cams displays the devastation of a runaway speeding vehicle. The crash on an Ohio turnpike led to the death of two people.
On Thanksgiving Day police received calls from various drivers of a runaway vehicle. Eyewitnesses believed the vehicle was going at least 150 miles per hour and police footage indicates that it was topping 125 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone.
Police attempted to catch up with the vehicle but found it difficult. Ten minutes into the chase police came up to a fiery car crash involving two vehicles. The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries; the couple in the other vehicle, a van, was killed. The driver of the speeding vehicle is being charged with vehicular manslaughter.
