And there is a construction zone, this vehicle came by, two cars saw it coming by and heard it because they said the right front wheel had a right front tire, so they both pulled out to start following that car to try to make contact and moments later it hit the Center Divide and went over the embankment. Not sure if they had lights on yet but like i said they heard the vehicle, they were going to try to make a stop on it but this happened just like a few seconds after they got behind it. Okay, so they didnt have time to start pursuing. No, not really, they put that out and said oh hit the Center Divide, oh, went off the shoulder. Take a look at what the inside looked like, firefighters were out here. They had to cut the top of the vehicle off to try to get to the victim inside. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and we got out here half an hour ago, 45 minutes ago and saw the coroner here who took the victim away.
