I am not sure this report is true... I live near the place where the event climaxed and if you are driving in the west bound lane of I66, you CANNOT see the spot where the silver car ended up on the side of the road in the east bound lane.
Personally, I think that is why the police chose that place to force the car over as the culprit could not cross the median there. There isn’t an emergency crossing across the median and the bank on both sides was very steep. A fine place to corral a car.
Think about it, if the reporter, could not see the event from the west bound lane, how much of this story is true?
That is new information.
Couldn’t see the eastbound lanes from the westbound lanes.
They said they noticed a lack of traffic.
Could they have seen the VSP lights from their lanes?
I have encountered traffic stops where I couldn’t see the cars themselves, but noticed the police cars “disco” lights through trees.
Even in broad daylight.
Just asking as I have little knowledge of the area.
