pulled over the he has not had anyone so many cases where his long straight at oncoming traffic going to intersections which is amazing the cop cars stopped and backed up it was right behind him is almost like they're keeping up with this now he is getting into the area with lots of turns this is clearly a neighborhood. >>darya: much quieter and narrow streets there has to be a huge concern about the safety of people is cutting right across

someone's lawn ride over lawn the cops are really close and he is slowing down and then he picks up speed i cannot believe now he is going through what looks like a wooded area and this is maybe a pack this could be a path through the woods because is not cloud the throat and the trees around it he is

going right through the woods they are not too close behind him he is trying to lure the cops the top seven over him. >>darya: he's definitely slowing down there is no way he can move that fast over the icy and snowy roads now there are trees he had to negotiate there was a lot of this started things we don't know if this also dump or cycling area or some type of trash this is definitely in a neighborhood area he's been on all type of terrain and we've been following just after the carjacking in look like they

might have gone john now he is on the roadway in the correct direction he is in the correct direction but we know what happens. >>darya: as soon as the traffic in front of him there could be a hell on collision several of them could happen in this chase we joined initially after the cops are the follow on him in the chopper got the shot really continuing to follow pretty closely but not close enough that cannot tell where he is to get in front of him.

>>darya: it's like he's thinking about stopping or giving up now he is on a plowed streets this is definitely wide i don't know if it is a one way there is an and the section and that was caught behind him now he is speaking of speed he is really going very fast down this road i guess it is a two-lane road he is right in the middle and area that has not been plowed he goes right to left. >>darya: he certainly has not hit anyone the traffic of around area of kansas city kansas side started in missouri the traffic has been so light and or stop by the cops and some point that no one has been hurt by him and
