About an hour ago a black Mercedes, driven by an African-American male, was speeding at almost 100 MPH down Carroll St. toward New York Ave., as if it were the NASCAR race track. Sure enough, the vehicle lost control and crashed into a Lincoln ‘livery cab’ driven by a Hispanic male, which went crashing into the yard of an adjacent home.
Reckless Driver Totals Luxury Mercedes
About an hour ago a black Mercedes, driven by an African-American male, was speeding at almost 100 MPH down Carroll St. toward New York Ave., as if it were the NASCAR race track. Sure enough, the vehicle lost control and crashed into a Lincoln ‘livery cab’ driven by a Hispanic male, which went crashing into the yard of an adjacent home.
Witnesses said the car was going so fast that the screeching of the brakes lasted for over 10 seconds. Tire marks can be seen stretching across almost half the block.
The driver of the cab sustained moderate injuries, including a dislocated shoulder. His passenger was unharmed.
The driver of the Mercedes tried to flee the scene, but his totaled car wouldn’t sputter very far. Either way, his path was blocked by a Jewish bystander, who convinced him and his female companion that it wasn’t in their best interest to flee the scene of the accident.
A passing Shomrim volunteer administered first aid to the Hispanic cab driver, who was then transported to the hospital when the EMS arrived. Police arrived and took a report, but decided not to make any arrests at the time.

Wow – that Lincoln is one hell of a LUCKY guy – look at his car!!! and WOW – that MERC running up at 100MPH and that’s all the damage it got??? imagine it were a Honda or Nissan….???
I agree with #3 – Plz respect the luxury cars… don’t total them – want to preform on them, find a race track and sign off your life there – not on a residential street – God forbid if there were children crossing the street or something.

If this isn’t proof that police officers are under orders not to make arrests in order to keep crime stats low, I don’t know what is.

Why don’t you say 150 MPH or more, at 100 MPH this car would be a TOTAL loss,at moment of impact he MAYBE did 40 MPH.
but he should be arrested regardless just for being reckless.
Question
Why is the race of the people involved relevant? Could someone honestly answer my question?
