Big Rig Pursuit Ends after Running on Rims for Hours

The driver of a big rig refused to stop for authorities and lead officers on a 3 hour pursuit which ended near Lake Elsinore. The big rig had its front passenger side tire spiked by officers but that made no difference to the huge vehicle. It ran on rims for miles before the male driver finally gave up after a brief standoff.

good thing he had his 4-way flashers on. all idiots and drunks/drugies should have 4-ways on at all times.

Bet the owners, Mid Valley Transportation, loved seeing their name on the news with this driver. Looks like someone should not have researched this guys background and mental stability a bit more. Too bad there are so many Super Truckers out there giving the good drivers a bad name.

if cops had knowledge of air brakes they would know that they could apply the brakes simply by shooting the air tanks on the rig. when the air pressure falls below 30 psi the brakes automatically engage. All states have officers posted everywhere that are trained to deal with commercial trucks? where was their brains?

if they would have shot out the drives it would have been over faster
