Watch: Stolen Jaguar Hits Unmarked Police Car Head On
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Most car accidents happen quickly, like this stolen Jaguar which hit an unmarked police car head-on in the UK. The crash was captured on a surveillance camera and shows that even trained officers of the law can sometimes do little or nothing when another driver behaves Jaguar was reportedly going 90 mph the wrong way on a road in Liverpool after 10 pm on December 20, 2024 when it slammed into the unassuming crossover being driven by a cop. That collision crumples the Jaguar's hood and sends the unmarked police unit rolling backwards down the road. Just seconds after the crash, a marked police car with lights going pulls up behind the Jaguar, which Liverpool ECHO says was a classic model just as the driver tries running away. He's collared by one officer while the other approaches the vehicle to take the passengers into custody. Reportedly, the Jaguar had been stolen just moments before from a retired classic car collector. The thieves smashed through one of the windows of his house, then threatened the frightened elderly man with a hammer, taking cash and the keys to his Jaguar before driving off in the vehicle. With police in hot pursuit, the suspects decided to try out the British sports car's V8, pushing it to ridiculous speeds for narrow city streets. While the driver was okay after the crash, his accomplices weren't. A teenager who was in the front passenger seat suffered an injury to his leg. The guy who was in the backseat wasn't belted in, so in the collision he was thrown into the center console. Both police officers in the unmarked car were injured as well. One suffered 'bruising and pain' which doesn't sound too bad, but the other has 'permanent scarring' on his hip. In a 90 mph head-on crash, it's lucky nobody was killed.

2 teenagers killed in crash on I-195 in Massachusetts
Two teenagers were killed Saturday afternoon during a crash on Interstate 195 in Massachusetts, the Bristol County District Attorney announced. It happened around 1:35 p.m. around the 19.4 mile marker, near the Reed Road Exit on I-195 West in Dartmouth. District Attorney Thomas Quinn said only one car was involved in the crash, and both people were ejected. Impact was so severe that the vehicle's engine was dislodged. On Sunday, Quinn identified the victims as 19-year-old Kevin Dos Santos Lopes of New Bedford and 18-year-old Amilton De Pina Semedo of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Dos Santos Lopes and De Pina Semedo were both rushed to an area hospital but later pronounced dead. "This single motor vehicle crash is not deemed suspicious. The crash is being investigated by the Massachusetts State Police along with Troopers assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office," Quinn said in a statement. The car that was involved in the crash was a 2006 Chevy Equinox. Part of the road was closed while police investigated the deadly crash. Video from the scene showed a crane had to be used to lift the car back onto the roadway so it could be towed from the scene. No further information on what caused the deadly weekend crash is currently available. Dartmouth is located in southeastern Massachusetts, about 28 miles from Providence, Rhode Island and about 57 miles south of Boston. Dartmouth has a population of about 34,000 people.
