E55 crash in San Diego

I was just watching the news and a black E55 crashed on Friars Road near QUalcomm stadium this afternoon. The cops tried to pull him over for tinted windows but decided to run instead. I guess he was some type of drug dealer. Would that be any of you guys here?

What do you mean? I got this car so I'd never have to pull over!

After this assumption do you really expect anyone here to step up?

Did you really think I was expecting someone to come forward? Did you not see the emoticon I used to signify I was screwing around?

Yes, I think you expected all the E55-driving drug dealers and pimps to come out of the woodwork

Worse, the hole really messed up the guy in the van. I think they are still trying to reattach a piece of one of his fingers

What a frickin idiot!!! Could have received a simple fix-it ticket, but chose to run away and total his car along injuring others.


edit: forget the fix-it ticket...just read DEA was initially involved in the pursuit

LOL!! Thanks for the concerns. I have never been pulled for tinted windows. Anyone have more details? Looks like he may have lost it? How can you see that grill? Hehe. Actually, it also has no tail fin.
He also must have had ESP off, or went into a T turn at WAY too much speed!!

Here's another video with close up shot of the E and the driver, I think he debadged as well. Apparently an undercover drug operation went bad.
