High speed chase passed me, anybody know what's going on?

Vicky Pike writes at 9:29pmCT, 23 Jun 2018
Eight cars with blue lights just passed as I was coming from the Hunter Place. Lordy what is going on???

Here comes more now -- chasing somebody Down 80 -- chasing an older looking light color car with a loud muffler.

They chased him past me. I had just turned in my driveway after six hours of working with calves.

He was flying, running from them. 12 cars have passed now.

Here comes ambulance.
Thanks Vicky We'll be following the story. - EW
