High Speed chase ended in my neighbors yard

Yea so this morning i woke up to a large noise. I looked out my window and all i saw was flashing lights and cops all over a guy in my neighbors yard. I live right on 15 mile road so i see all tha accidents. Well I got dressed and went outside to see a green suburban that had rolled several times. All the tires were blown on the passenger side by a spike strip and this caused the car to flip...then the guy got out and started to run...made it across my yard, into my neighbors yard and fell...then got tackled by the popo...

Now this car was traveling westbound on 15 mile and the accident was at cranbrook rd. Here is the part i still dont understand and the cops didnt say anything about it. There was a cop car driving eastbound im guessing to meet at the accident. Well it looks like it lost control and drove right through another persons yard right into their house...yes the cop car was half into the house. On its way it managed to run a mustang vert off the road and injure the lady inside. Now im confused because the chase never even made it this far... so you can only conclude that this was due to the cop who obviously lost control that was never even in the chase lol...and the lady run off the road by him was the only person hurt...

So good job cops...trying to join in the chase and hurt a completely innocent person not to mention the damage to the house they ran into...but they did catch the guy...

looks like this car was going at least 50+ to flip like it did. and i was watching the cops sift through the car and it looks like the guy robbed a female chothing store as when it flipped clothes went everywhere and the cops were pulling out purses and all...

well channel 4 news and channel 7 news was there...along with a few newspapers and a few helicopters....

kinda scary that things like this happen right in my front yard...

alright i take back what i said about the cop... here is what happened... the cop was racing down 15 mile to where the suburban had flipped over... on his way a female in a vert mustang decided she would turn and ignore the sirens and lights...well the cop had to swerve to avoid an accident. so he lost control and hit a house a block away from me. Mustang ended up doing through a bunch of bushes. Guessing she is going to get a ticket for failure to avoid the cop... not only that but id think that would make her accountable for the home damage or somethin but im not sure...

ill take some pics of the house...the cop car hit the brick part...

High speed chases have allways caused a lot of problems. people bitch about cops not doing there job, but then they bitch about police going to fast to catch the guy.lol , i guess its do your job but don't speed.
Years ago my dad was hurt in a high speed chase, his cop car was t-boned my another cop car joining the pursuit. But as he was sitting upside down in his wrecked car, he started to smell gas... first thought " where is my fucking cigrette. He stopped smoking after that rofl.
BTW this is not directed at anyone just a view point

i saw something on tv last night about a cop, don't remember where, chasing a 14-yo, driving without a license i presume, for failure to yeild and turn off highbeams. they went thru several intersections and it ended with the kid t-boning a car, killing himself, putting the driver and passenger of the t-boned car in ICU. the passenger died about 5 days later and the driver lived, but had many surgeries. with the danger increasing at every light is chasing someone for headlights and not yeilding THAT important?
