Instagram user @is.daylin added, “YES, the police did hit the car but at the end of the day this was a SEX offender fleeing from police and for what reason? We don’t know because that hasn’t been disclosed yet, you were in a high speed chase with PASSENGERS who begged you to stop. He didn’t care about anyone’s life in that car let alone his own, he’s being rightfully charged if you ask me. It’s a sad case but actions have consequences.”
