From the New York Daily News: A deadly high-speed chase in Iowa caught on camera shows the split-second moment a driver slammed into a parked cop cruiser at about 130 mph.
The cruiser happened to be empty, but that wasn’t the most astonishing part of the accident early Friday: The driver’s 5-year-old son was sitting in the back seat ... and survived.
“‘Miraculous’ is the word I would use to describe it,” Indianola Detective Sgt. Brian Sher told the Des Moines Register.
The Volkswagen Passat’s driver, Jeremiah Eldon Johnson, was a former Iraq and Afghan war veteran and was described by authorities as “suicidal and homicidal.” The 33-year-old Des Moines man had been on the run after taking the boy from his mother.
Johnson’ son, Johnnathen, was found crying on the floor of the car underneath a pile of clothes, the Register reported Saturday. Police couldn’t immediately say how he cheated death.
He was taken to the hospital and was in stable condition, police said.
