" Georgia State Patrol officials said a police chase ended when the suspect's vehicle flew off an overpass and landed in a fiery crash on the ramp below.

Atlanta police confirm two people have died.

The incident happened in downtown Atlanta just after 2:30 p.m. Thursday"

"A spokesman for the Georgia Department of Transportation, Bryan Gunter, said the crash appears to be the result of a police chase that began on I-75/85 northbound. Gunter said Atlanta police officials said the chase led up the HOV ramp from I-75/85 northbound to Piedmont Avenue. While on that ramp, the vehicle involved in the chase went over the side of the ramp and landed on the I-75/85 southbound ramp to Freedom Parkway."

lol, should have learned to drive the vette, before running from John Law.

Wouldn't have happened in a GTR or the JDM Evo IX with the full electronics package. I bet it even has some secret "Pursuit Mode".

i think it's a fuckin STUPID idea for cops to engage in high speed chases in downtown urban areas like this... if it's out in BFE, who gives a damn? Just a thought -- if the cops just get a license # and let the guy go,:

-pedestrians/other citizens' lives don't get put in danger.
-nobody gets killed
-corvettes won't be destroyed
-traffic remains... shitty -- as opposed to extreeeeeeeeeemely shitty in the case of a wreck

just thinking out loud.

from a cop's point of view:

-bad guy dies
-we get to be like Bad Boys II

[K20Z1]

the vette shouldn't try to flee at first...

[Leadfoot_mf]

Nothing lost.
just the corvette :( what if it was stolen?

[BABY J]

[Atlblkz06]

I dont think they should engage in high speed pursuits inside the belt, its just too dangerous.

[SmackedInATL]

LOL, this dude said the belt. This isn't Washington DC, in Atlanta its called the perimeter!!

[Atlblkz06]

HAHA - thank you! I knew something wasnt right when I typed that.

Those headlights in the video - they're dont like like they're from a vette.
The tail-lights look like they're from a C5 Vette.

[SCtuneguy]

Ejecto seato cuz!!!
Oh no... not 2fast2furious.

Is a belt not an object that goes around the perimeter of something?


















Might want to consider turning down your inner redneck a notch a or two.

^^^ so wrong but i loled

[VooDooXII]

It was stolen...I think from Hertz. The wheels look like ones that you can only get on the Corvette ZHZ, which is rented out by Hertz.

I was passing by on my way to the airport right after this happened...luckily traffic was still moving, albeit slowly. Better that though, because they closed all lanes shortly after.

Pretty crazy stuff.

It caught fire dude. :doh:

so that means nothing, those parts are made out of metal, aside from a couple plastic pieces it still perfectly fine. esp since it was upside down.

[redrumracer]

[lovinmydodge]

He may could have outrun that police officer but he would have just radio'd him in and eventually they would have caught back up with him. If it were night you might could pull that off.

[94' Accord]

Are you Serious? Theres a Yellow Corvette in my hood. Since That day,I havent seen it. I pass by his house everyday and i would see it everyday. I havent seen it since.

[VooDooXII]

Why couldn't they just phone OnStar to shut the car off?

May not have had OnStar.

[stillaneon]

The Corvette was a Hertz Rental Car from Florida.

[Motivation]

^^^ sucks for Hertz

[stillaneon]

Sucks for my step-mom.

Idiots like that make more paperwork for her

[VooDooXII]

May not have had OnStar.

Heh I was joking anyway. :rolleyes:

[Romeo]

first off, WHO RENTS A CORVETTE??? and 2nd, i thought they were allowed to give chase after a certain MPH??

[IMPORTchic]

Damn...thought it might have been my X and my mans X-wife. FAIL

Got my hopes up! Ohh wait...? Did I say that?

Sucks for the families though....

Hertz has a "fun" class.

Includes the Corvette ZHZ (like 430 hp) and the Mustang GTH

Most of them are in Florida.

They also rent high dollar cars in vegas and L.A.

Yeah but when you turn that mode on it voids your warranty LOL

[blake06gto]

the button is located somewhere next to the "Snap Transmission" mode button in the gtr.

[Slow Motion]

I thought there was a new law or something that prevented cops from pursuing ppl, so that lives would be saved.(officers and civilians alike) Guess it doesn't apply to state troopers. idk.

Chased through downtown in mid day for speeding. Fucking ridiculous, bet GSP would have felt stupid if the vette had taken out that school bus over a speeding ticket.

The trooper say's he tried to stop them cause they were speeding. Well, what makes him think that giving chase would help the situation?

[T.S.]

Georgia State PD is the only PD that can chase after 100mph. They go by a different set of laws then city and county cops go by. Hope this helps clear some of your questions up.

Thats stupid you still end up with the same results ppl DIE, including officers.

This is true but that's the way they do things here in Georgia. =)
