This is the seventh installment of a StrangeRush mini.

Can’t Catch Me-

LONGVIEW, Washington- A Canadian man was arrested for evading Sheriff’s deputies on a three-mile, somewhat high speed, chase on Interstate 5 in southern Washington. Once deputies finally stopped the rental car, the assailant laughed at them and refused to exit the vehicle. They broke the glass and were forced to taser him. During the entire chase the assailant drove his rental car in reverse.

Just a Small Blaze-

BELLEVUE, Washington- When a family was away from their home a blaze broke out that was significant enough to cause $215,000 of damage. Luckily the family dog was rescued when a neighbor noticed the smoke and flames. What did the official report list as the cause of the fire? Fido’s water bowl was glass and working with the sun acted as a sort of magnifying glass, causing the back deck to start on fire.

Get the Hell Out of the Way-

SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts- A young 17-year-old girl just wanted a little practice driving so her mom and dad took her to a movie theater parking lot where she could practice. Mom sat on a fence while father and daughter practiced. The anxious new driver accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake, causing the car to crash into the fence and break both of her dear mommy’s legs.

Asset Protection-

MANSFIELD, Massachusetts- When a bankrupt medical device maker went out of business they left behind some assets that anyone would find a little creepy. The company had nine human cadavers, eight of which were previously used. The cadavers had been frozen in the company’s former headquarters. Arrangements had been made for their proper disposal.
