Police dash cam video shows car split in half after 100mph crash

Police dash cam:SANFORD,Florida,(Just released video)One person is dead and two others injured after a chase in Seminole County ended when the car crashed into a utility pole at 25th Street and Elm Avenue, in Sanford. Newly released video from one of the police cruisers' dashboard cameras showed the final seconds of the chase, ending with the suspects' car hitting the pole and splitting into two pieces. County deputies said the chase started as a road rage incident on Interstate 4 shortly before 4 a.m., when one of the three people in a gold Nissan Maxima started firing shots through the sunroof at another car. No one was hit, but the people in the other car called police, who located the suspects and gave chase. Deputies estimated the vehicle was speeding in excess of 100 mph before hitting the pole. They said the car was going so fast, it went airborne, and parts of the vehicle were flying off even before it crashed. 'Like the sonic boom you hear from the space shuttle, that's how loud it was,' said Jeff Conklin, who lives near the crash site. 'It rattled everything in my house, made me get up, come outside the door, and everything was on fire.' Cleanup crews arrived, and investigators have sorted out some of the details. They said the road rage incident was random, and the groups in both cars did not know each other. 'This is a horrible tragedy that didn't have to happen,' said Lt. James Clark, with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. 'There's got to be something behind all this, and we have to work to find out what it is,' Clark said. There was also no immediate word on the names of the victims, or how serious the survivors' injures were. Charges are pending.
