Scumbags. This map overlay is a bit annoying.

 

[Chaosblade]

What a strange situation, I have so many questions.

Driver seems to be driving pretty carefully and with all the lights and (I assume) noise that should make it relatively safer than a random vehicle, at least.

 

[KyleH]

Apparently he rammed some police cars earlier. EMS crew is not inside. They’re ok.

 

[Powdered Egg]

There's not a chop shop willing to take it. Dumbest crime of the week so far.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Philly is not really a city you can have car chases in.

 

[chadskin]

Seems like he's giving up.

edit: Damn, or not!

 

[KyleH]

OMG.

 

[Kendrid]

Holy shit how was he not shot

 

[rjinaz]

Guess I shouldn't laugh this is dangerous but I really thought he was going to stop then he just took off again.

 

[Powdered Egg]

The police should deputize Philly Freezer or Beanie Siegel to get the car back.

 

[Wamapoke]

Damn so close. This guy needs his ass kicked.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Oh shit! Son...dude is gonna get shot now!

 

[KyleH]

This is not going to end well.

 

[sfedai0]

You kept making all the stops????

 

[cameron]

Damn. He was boxed in and surrounded, but managed to drive off.

 

[Chaosblade]

Yeah... this is not going to have a pretty ending. That was a really dangerous situation in the parking lot.

Now I'm wondering of this guy is drunk.

 

[Volimar]

No siren? Where's the sense of style?

 

[KyleH]

You can listen to the PD radio traffic on broadcastify.com

 

[Jarrod38]

They got a tow truck now.

 

[Wamapoke]

Is that a police vehicle?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

A new Challenger!!!! That's not a police tow truck.

 

[chadskin]

That is some wild stuff, take note LA.

 

[Chaosblade]

[Kendrid]

This is messed up. A random tow truck chasing when the police are way behind. Nice way to get arrested buddy.

 

[chadskin]

What is the tow truck doing lol

 

[Jarrod38]

Is there no sound?

 

[Jarrod38]

Ambulance is no match.

 

[rjinaz]

wow stopped the tow truck.

 

[djplaeskool]

Tow truck tried it.

Edit:
Tow truck back in there

 

[diakyu]

Tow Truck 0 Ambulance 1

 

[Wamapoke]

Nice work from truck driver. Can't beat the heft of an ambulance on it's own though.

 

[Chaosblade]

I'm not sure how else the driver of the tow truck expected that to go. Not giving up though I guess, or maybe they are. I dunno.

 

[the_wart]

The thief is driving pretty well by Philly standards.

 

[cameron]

Involuntarily self pit maneuver by the vigilante tow truck.

 

[Miker]

Holy shit the ambulance pit maneuver’d the pursuit vehicle.

 

[Musubi]

No audio?

 

[djplaeskool]

Is the ambulance driving on the rim? Front driver side tire looks...gone.

 

[KyleH]

This is crazy. The tow truck was vigilante crazy.

 

[chadskin]

Is the ambulance driving on the rim? Front driver side tire looks...gone.

Click to shrink...

Yep, there was smoke coming from the other side as well.

 

[Vestal]

Ambulance is almost done for.. Tire is dead.

 

[Kendrid]

Flat tires, he is done soon.

 

[xxracerxx]

Is the ambulance driving on the rim? Front driver side tire looks...gone.
