Police Car Chase

Postby Sherry » October 6th, 2008, 3:24 pm

Today was a very scary day for my daughter. She is working in downtown Fort Worth, so she has a bit of a drive to and from work on the interstate. On her way home this evening she noticed in her rearview mirror a SUV weaving in and out of traffic, then driving in the left hand shoulder. In a split second the SUV cut from the left-hand shoulder across to a right-hand exit just barely missing my daughters car. She had no where to go as a 18-wheeler was in the lane next to her so she slammed on her brakes praying that no one slammed into the back of her. Police were following this SUV off the exit. She called me, voice shaking but in control. I have to say I'm very proud of how she can keep control of herself in this kind of situation. She does not freak out. Her guardian angel was by her side today that's for sure!

As a side note...the chase continued for awhile longer, suddenly my son and I heard choppers and sirens past our home, as the SUV went flying down the FM road that is behind our addition. Then my daughter calls and said the SUV flew by her AGAIN! Poor kid, but this time there were at least 30 police cars and blockades so no one could get hurt. The chase ended shortly after with 3 people surrendering to a multitude of police officers. We did see the capture on the news....I was so glad to see them caught especially after they almost hit my girl!

This is not the kind of thing you'd expect out here, so it was kind of scary to watch it go down! We are so thankful that no one was hurt, especially our daughter!

That SUV wasn't white, was it? :D
There never was a horse that couldn't be rode and there never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed.

We are actually west of Fort Worth, but I would have loved seeing you! You were in our old stomping grounds back when we first got married.

Thanks, we are too, could have been horrible! They went through our town and managed to hit only a truck....it was a miracle!

Praise God for keeping in a passing quick memory that night. We are blessed and highly favored.
