Benwood Police Chief Frank Longwell says officers did an excellent job during the chase which ended with no injuries.
” These kind of things can be very dangerous and deadly. We had speeds of 60 in a 25 mile an hour zone. Then over 100 mile an hour on the interstate. It’s dangerous for the officer. It’s dangerous for the suspect. It’s dangerous for the traveling public. Just lucky in these situations that you don’t have a crash injuring innocent people.”
