Milwaukee Driver Fleeing Cops Throws Police Into Traffic (W/Video)
Should've just taken the ticket...
Brace yourself for this video because it isn't pretty. A Milwaukee driver pulled over for speeding makes a run for it, and while doing so, hurls two cops into oncoming traffic.

The video shows a car pulled over on the side of the I-43 freeway. Without warning, the driver puts the car into reverse, hits a squad car, and flees the scene. Meanwhile, two deputies are thrown onto the freeway, and a passenger hits a barrier wall. Luckily, the victims made it out alive, but not without a few injuries. The passenger reportedly injured her leg, and one of the deputies suffered abrasions as a result of the incident.
The driver was found and arrested three days later. As expected, the 23-year-old woman faces a long list of felony charges. These charges include two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of harming someone while fleeing police, and one count of damaging property while escaping the scene.

When I tell people I write about cars, the most common reply I receive is “Really?” I guess I never strike people as a car type as I drive down the freeway in the right lane going 60 mph in my old SUV. My gripes about driving in city traffic and fast drivers don’t help my case, either. For a time, the only cars I liked were old cars. Not old as in "classic" or "vintage," but as in well-worn. My first appreciation of cars came when I drove a very old Ford pickup. It wasn't perfect: I used a booster seat to reach the gas pedal, and the turn signal once fell off in my hand as I was learning to drive. But the thing I valued most was the memories. It took several years for me to truly become a "car person." Being a long-time writer and an avid reader has helped me develop a healthy curiosity and a desire to know how things work. This has made cars one of the most fascinating points of study for me because they are such intricate machines. I am interested in how cars can reach 200 mph, how they can run on hydrogen, and how they can drive and park on their own. I also enjoy learning how cars can solve problems whether it be in the form of reducing pollution, minimizing traffic, or helping people stay connected on the road. Yes, maybe I’m not a gearhead. Perhaps I’m a car nerd. Either way, I very much enjoy writing about cars and helping people stay in tune with the automotive industry. I wouldn't want to be writing about anything else. And don’t get me wrong: I know how to drool over a hot car. I am fascinated by the Tesla Model S, awed by the Lamborghini Veneno, and am hopelessly obsessed with the Audi R8.
