Terrible news. The newscasters reporting this are barely able to hold it together.

It is sad, I have seen those things buzzing around here before flying back and forth following a story, you just know this had to happen eventually.

Sad, but inevitable.
Live broadcasts of police chases just encourage a certain class of moron to lead one of his/her own, with all the resulting chaos and danger.

Is there chopper coverage of the accident from another network?

If it was you or me, there would be graphic video. The MSM may cover each other and hold back tape.

Terrible and sad but there are way too many chopper newshounds.
Bottom line: We do not need to watch cop chases.

Police chases are a bad policy. Either stop the vehicle by any means necessary or cut him loose.
Too often a very lengthy chase ends when the runaway driver crashes into some innocent civilian. If it happened to me, I’d sue the city for engaging in the chase. The police could ram the runaway driver themselves but they don’t want the liability.
Sometimes they seem to enjoy the thrill of the chase. I saw a 20+ car chase in Boston over a purse snatching (I think the driver may have then stolen a car). He crashed it into an apartment building and got away on foot on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
