There a million ways to lose a loved one. I would think none are any less tragic or heart-wrenching than the next.

A chase ensued, reaching speeds of more than 100 mph, into Washington County, said Saukville Police Chief William D. Meloy. "At that point," Meloy said, "I told him to break off the chase."

Meloy said the officer had already begun to slow down.

"We hoped that if we backed off a bit, she might slow down. We definitely didn't want her to increase her speed," Meloy said.
It appears the bitch was on a suicide run. According to the article the cops pulled off the chase, or refused to pursue, on four or five different occasions and she continued driving at high speeds. The fact that cops were on her ass, trying to stop her, takes absolutely none of the blame from her. She was the one speeding, she was the one that committed the crimes, and she was the one that struck and killed the old man.
