Friday Chuckle: Carjacking Gone Wrong


Okay, there is an accident involved in today's chuckle, but since no innocent people were harmed and the idiots stealing the car were only slightly injured, I'm going to classify it in the humor section.

For as much crap as we give car salesmen, they have a lot to put up with themselves. Two teens want to take a Ford Explorer for a test drive. Once out of town, they pull a gun on the salesman. Nice. Unharmed and now without a ride, the salesman calls 911 and the police begin their search. A harrowing, 90mph chase inside a construction zone ensues. At one point in the chase, one of the carjackers calls to say that now he is a hostage! The party ends with a fantastic car flipping extravaganza. No construction workers were hurt during the incident. The suspects were charged with carjacking and armed robbery.

You can watch the video of the incident from the police officers dash cam here.
