From Foxnews.com:

EVERETT, Wash. —  An 18-year-old Granite Falls man is dead and a Snohomish County sheriff's deputy will be placed on administrative leave following a fatal police chase.

Police say the chase began shortly after 8 p.m. on Friday when the sheriff's deputy observed a vehicle speeding on a road east of Highway 2.

The sheriff's deputy attempted to pull the vehicle over, but the driver fled and the deputy pursued. It was snowing and raining in the area at the time and the roads were slick and dangerous. The fleeing vehicle left the roadway and hit a tree.

The driver of the vehicle was taken to Providence Hospital Colby Campus, where he was pronounced dead.

The deputy has been with the sheriff's office for more than 25 years.

An investigation has been launched into the fatal accident.

I can see the lawsuit coming.  People blaming the cop for doing his job.  Why do people insist on running from the cops... especially when the punishment if caught after running is probably 100 times worse? I hate to sound harsh, but, this is Darwinism at its best.  Hopefully, someone will learn that the consequences for running are worse than accepting responsibility for your actions... and something good comes out of this!
