    Ouch.
    Hard to tell whom ran the red light. Odds are it wasn't the large car.

    Article says the sheriffs had pulled the car over earlier but it then took off. While they were pursuing it the car collided with the truck. Sounds like it may have been a hot pursuit gone wrong.

    i watched the video up to the point that the car was pulled over then sped off...

    HHMMmmm

    let's see, dodge charger, young teens and teen driver, speeding, all before 4 AM..

    yup.......not the truckers fault, but i'd be sure the lawyers are gonna get into his butt upside down, inside out, to find a reason to blame him.

    Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez said crash investigators determined the Illinois-registered car was traveling approximately 70 miles per hour when it slammed into the truck.

    Marijuana and a handgun also were found in the car following the crash, Martinez said.

    UPDATE: 3 dead following traffic stop, crash at I-80/94, police say

    They want to know what happened.

    1) They were into dope.
    2) They ran from the cops.
    3) They crashed into a big truck at a high rate of speed.

    They want to see the officer's body cams. Like that will change anything.
