What the heck… that’s normal driving for McKinleyville.
High speed chase? 50 mph I guess that would be high speed considering it’s a ford. Should’ve bought a Chevy
If you are driving through a town, 50 mph is high speed in my opinion.
but wrong way on a on ramp would mean they exited the 101. at 50 ? or am i missing something ?
This was over the scanner and I wasn’t sure what onramp the officer was talking about. But the driver went on School Road, Thiel Road and a few others in McKinleyville. Here’s what APD released. https://kymkemp.com/2018/02/15/fortuna-resident-fled-arcata-police-and-chp-on-chase-last-night/
Most likely stole? Was that truck on the list of most stolen? 98 Ford F-150. That and Hondas of course.
