Fans of Clint Eastwood will remember that line from one of the Dirty Harry movies. It is a good thing to keep in mind, especially if you are a car thief who is inclined to run from the cops. Two guys found that out the hard way in the wee hours of Wednesday at the Harrison St. off-ramp from the freeway in San Francisco.
This situation began at about 0250 hours when the CHP tried to stop a Silver BMW convertible which, it turns out, had been stolen. The chase started in Oakland and proceeded through the Bay Bridge toll plaza and across the bridge into San Francisco at speeds of up to 115 MPH.
The BMW driver’s enthusiasm, however, exceeded his skill level on the 25 mph off-ramp. The BMW hit the wall, rolled several times, ejected one of the two occupants and burst into flames.
Both occupants died.
