As a Columbia personal injury lawyer , I’m glad to hear no one was seriously injured in this high-speed chase. I urge drivers to never flee police, as it always makes the situation worse. High-speed car chases are extremely dangerous because other innocent victims on the road could be involved and dangerous car accidents like this one could occur. Anyone who sees a high-speed chase should try to move away from the vehicle and not get involved by trying to help police.
