Well, I had quite an experience on my drive to work yesterday. I had passed through
the tunnel & was on the Norfolk side @about 5am when I saw, in my rear-view mirror, what appeared to be about 20 police
cars with lights blazing coming up the entrance ramp onto the Interstate. Before I could blink my eyes, HERE CAME THE
CAR I THINK THEY WERE CHASING, flying up behind me !!! I was SCREAMING on the inside but didn't even have time to make a sound.....the
car whipped around me & an almost endless stream of State Troopers flew by chasing it. It looked like at least 40
of them to me !! It was pitch black out, but blue lights were flashing everywhere. Finally another car &
I were able to pull off to the shoulder. When we thought that was all & got back on the road, here came about 10 more
!! It was like something out of a movie. I was shaking like a leaf.
When I came off the Interstate onto the road that leads to my office, there were more
police cars there !! I was really shaken up, realizing that I could have been hit or even killed, & how our lives can
change within a split second. Believe me, I did some praying & thanked God that I'm still here.
A co-worker who also drives from Hampton arrived @the office a few minutes after
me. She was BEHIND all the action & saw it unfolding in front of her. We were both shaking & telling everyone what
happened & it was the talk of the office. She heard on the radio that the fugitive driver ended up heading to Hampton,
hit a State Trooper's car in the tunnel & finally crashed near J.Clyde Morris Blvd. All I saw, & keep in mind
it was dark, is that it was a car, not an SUV, but a big car, not a compact, & it looked brown to me. We watched
the early news but there was nothing on there about it. I saw a small article on the internet but it didn't say any more than
the report on the radio.
