    Started on the Beltway in DC and ended in Tyson's Corner, MD. This is just breaking on FoxNews, and they don't have any details on the site just yet.

    It was a Western Express rig.

    Some people are just dumb, you can run but you can't hide.

    Depends on the car. If it was an old Caprice . . . it is about 12 seconds. The Crown Vics are about 9 seconds. The new Chargers are about 6-7 seconds

    Did anyone watch the footage from the helicopter? He had to have been empty number one, blew front drivers side tire early into the chase. Once they ended up on the residential street just before it ended he was swerving into the oncoming lane keeping the cruisers behind him, shortly after that he hit the bushes and stopped. Took the cops forever to try and get the door open, then one officer finally hopped in through the window to open it from the inside. Front axle looked to be pushed back to the firewall too. Glad to see nobody got hurt with it all.
