Stolen Car Fleeing Police In Southern California Causes Major Crash

A stolen car fleeing from police ran a red light, triggering a multi-vehicle accident which left eight people injured. The incident in Murietta, California has left people shocked and local news once again scrutinizing police pursuit policies.

Why did police leave an injured teenager trapped in his car?

We don’t know which of several cars captured in footage of the chaotic aftermath of the crash was stolen. Among them is an old white Acura Integra, which is a strong candidate since thieves and the criminal element have a tradition of being attracted to them like a moth to the flame.

The accident, which The Sun reports happened about 11 am on March 5, involved the stolen vehicle and three other cars. None of the eight injured suffered critical injuries, although two had to be extricated from their vehicle by firefighters.
