A Port Moody police cruiser crashed Wednesday afternoon after what witnesses described as a police chase with a Ferrari on the Barnet Highway, according to Vancouver's News1130 radio. The station, quoting Port Moody police, said an officer on duty saw a red Ferrari turn onto the highway and speed away quickly. Police said the car was weaving in and around other cars, although Constable Bill Kim woudn't call it a chase. Kim said the officer did try to catch up to the Ferrari, but couldn't catch the car and lost control. "As the officer was attempting to close the distance, from my accounts, he might have hit a patch of road-gravel causing the vehicle to turn, lost control and swerved into a minivan with a single occupant." No one was injured in the crash. Police are still looking for the Ferrari and its driver.

This is why they aren't allowed (or even "call it") a chase.

Idiot Ferrari driver, bigger idiot cop. Lucky neither of them killed anyone.

cop was playing too much NFS lol if any of you've been on the barnet highway, its quite straight with a few long turns and you can definitely hit dangerous speeds on it if you have the resources to, both of them are idiots, the cop more so : if the ferrari didnt stop in the first few kms at high speed, what makes you think he'll stop at all.

i like how he doesnt wanna call it a chase. It seems like it has all the aspects of a chase

1. ) ferarri owner driving fast
2) cop tries to catch up by "chasing" the ferarri
3) cop gets up to high speeds
4) cop doesnt know how to drive and loses control
5)??????
6) profit....?

sounds like a chase to me

So now you have 2 cars putting innocent lives at risk on a highway wtf, I'm no crime expert but couldn't you radio a unit ahead on the highway to intercept, some type of roadblock.

They don't want to call it a chase because it was not much of a chase... lol

I think it was more of a race and the cop lost...

Goooooooooooooooooooo ferrari

I know that road all too well, its minutes from where I used to live. Once your on that road theres no way anyone could stop you, the Ferrari was home free. Its on the side of a mountain and the lanes are seperated by 15' stone walls in some places.
