this afternoon i witnessed, for the very first time, a high-speed chase. well, in this case it was a “u-haul” chase. i just so happened to flip on the tv when this hilarious event started to unfold. over the next hour and a half, i kept one eye on my work and one eye on the tube, waiting to see how this would turn out for the genius behind the wheel!

turns out, a blond woman in a possibly stolen a u-haul truck led the police on a wild goose chase throughout socal. from the high desert city of palmdale, she began weaving in and out of traffic on the 10 freeway. which, from experience, is not the safest freeway to begin with! flash forward two hours later, she led police all the way to my alma mater, pepperdine university, on pacific coast highway. coming up on ventura county, it was the empty gas tank that slowed her down to a stop… finally.

and here comes the best part: she gets out of the truck and starts running. yes, running, with helicopters and mobs of police right behind her. i can’t wait to find out this girl’s story. here’s the vid, watch and i’m sure it will give you a chuckle!
