a Chevy Avalanche flipped over at Davison Rd. and I-475 on Friday
http://www.abc12.com/news/localnews/headlines/305507871.html  

It wasn't me, the truck looks dark blue and was coming from the other side of town I think.
I'm not sure how the idiot managed to flip it or which direction it was going.



 
He tumped it.

:eek:
 
It's maybe an 1/8 mile from my house  :rolleyes:
 
"Some people...
There was a black wbh in a high speed chase in my hometown last week that ended poorly."

In my years in law enforcement, I have yet to see a pursuit end well - from the point of view of the runner, that is. Incredible stupidity.

Flint's post was a stolen Av, though, not a pursuit...

BTW, what does WBH stand for?
 
The speed limit is 35 MPH and it's ONE WAY going south or east where the overturned AV landed.

It looks like he tried to make a hard left turn onto Davison Road, both are wide enough and one-way so I think a 90o left turn there at 35 MPH in an Avalanche without slowing down is possible.

I don't plan to test that theory in my Avalanche or a stolen one  :laugh:
 
Well at least he stole a good truck.  (y)

Ended poorly as in the person did not walk away from it. The truck was not damaged in that process.

"the driver climbed out the window when the truck was upside down, slapped the phone out of witness' hand while she was calling 911 then dove head first into another car that was following behind him and they took off."

Not a police pursuit,... maybe an armed and angry Avalanche owner was chasing them  :eek:

It's on YouTube, I could drive to where it occurred in under a minute. My Arrival Blue truck is safe in my driveway but odds are I've seen that AV multiple times and quite possibly spoken to it's owner.
