BURNABY (NEWS1130) - It had all the elements of a movie scene - including a Ferrari. A Port Moody police cruiser was involved in a crash Wednesday afternoon, after what witnesses described as a police chase on the Barnett Highway in Burnaby.

Port Moody Police say an officer on duty saw a red Ferrari turn onto the highway and take off at a very high rate of speed. Police say the car was being driven erratically, weaving in and around other cars, although Constable Bill Kim won't go as far as calling it a chase. Kim says the officer did try to catch up to the Ferrari and that's when the incident took a turn for the worse. "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."

Kim says fortunately no one was injured in the crash. They're still looking for the Ferrari and the driver.

[KingDeeCee]

It was the officer that crashed into the minivan trying to catch up to the Ferrari.

[AVS_Racing]

an officer on duty saw a red Ferrari turn onto the highway and take off at a very high rate of speed - who doesnt do that on a freaken on ramp ur supposed to accelerate, and it is a ferrari so it really does just seem like somebody having a lil fun, driving it like he stole it. i mean i would probably do it all day too if i had a ferrari

[Raid3n]

it wasn't the on ramp onto hwy 1, it was the one coming off hwy 1 onto barnett hwy i believe.

either way.. sounds like the port moody cops need more driver training lol.

[t8v6]

shiit fast and furious/redline irl

[Not really racist!]

the cop trying to catch up in what? his ford?

:haha:

+1 for ferrari driver

[Drizzt Do'Urden]

The cop never had his car. Granny-shifting. Not double-clutching, like he should.

[asian_speedster]

Ferrari > Police

[keifun]

"Police cars here are only factory tuned.If you can do better than 180K they can't catch you, so they don't even try."

[Boostaholic]

don't they have choppers here like the states? and something about last year they just got one more?

[m4k4v4li]

HAHAHAHA
owned

[3seriesBeeM]

by the time there able to call in the chopper that car is long gone they have to be able to tail the car in order to tell chopper where the car is and that means keeping the car in sight that ford never stood a chance ferrari FTMFW

[MWR34]

thank god i got away.!

[woozzle]

^really? that's funny because when I got pulled over once they said a chopper have been on me for an hour...funny thing is that I just pulled out of my driveway

[Zyzz]

FUCK i should have done this

[seakrait]

don't they have choppers here like the states? and something about last year they just got one more?

they do. but it's a shared helicopter program that's shared among all lower mainland police services and it's not up all the time. i believe it flies out of boundary bay... so when it's out of fuel, it has to return there for avgas or whatever it drinks.

[Shun Izaki]

wow, and burnaby cops are smart enough to tell our STi "you should have gone for it, i couldn't have caught you anyways".

Dumb cop

I had Air1 Chase me once on #1 hwy for excessive speed. Was pretty funny actually, and yes, I did get caught.

[johny]

they aren't going to call out a helicopter for a speeder... I bet the Ferrari never even know the cop was behind him. he was just driving.

defiantly not a "police chase"

a $10 000 chopper bill to hand out a $150 speeding ticket.

yeah, it's pretty hard to lose AIR ONE once they're locked onto you. They have a FLIR on it too (on both helicopters - AIR TWO as well) so if you decide to bail, they'll track you via your body heat.

they will definitely use AIR ONE to track a speeder if AIR ONE is already in the air. If it's refueling and the cops can keep up with the car at a distance for long enough that AIR ONE can get airborne, then i'm pretty sure they'll use it. $10000 is nothing when compared to the potential lives saved from a horrific crash.

[6insomnia9]

Rookie cops, gtfo.

[RenoMan]

just imagine how embarrassing it was when he went back to the station.

him: walks in

random officer; so i heard you were chasing a ferrari ?

him: yah, i was closing in on him until my tires slid on gravel.

random officer: you mean, you saw him speeding but some HOW you slid on gravel....hmm i dont recall seeing any gravel on Barnett Highway

him: no there was

random officer:O, so the ferrari hovered over and you didnt.

Retarded cop haha. This ain't the U.S. with american muscle cop cars that can easily rip it up in a hurry to catch you. Canadian cop cars are a piece of crap. What was this cop thinking, trying to catch a ferrari.

[death_blossom]

^
don't american police use Crown Victorias like we do?

[hk20000]

their highway patrol usually something more powerful and faster.

[b-dub]

Just curious, how far does the 'no fly zone' extend across on the YVR?


I'm pretty sure AIR1 can't fly anywhere near the Arthur Lang bridge and perhaps even the Oak st bridge and all the surrounding areas in Richmond. Wonder if it's the same for the Abbotsford Airport.

Why wouldn't Air1 fly near richmond..................


both Air1 and Air2 would take fuel at South Terminal.

[chun]

PS. For all those ripping on the cop, let's see YOU try catching up to a Ferrari in a Crown Vic as part of your JOB, not just for fun, and see how well you do pushing that wobbly boat.

[Iceman-19]

Doesnt sound like erratic driving, I am sure the driver of the Ferrari was driving like that on purpose.

[some_punk]

^

They still got some LS1 camaros on the road, but they are starting to phase them out too and switching over to the G8. We used to have them but not anymore. I remember see one for sale on autotrader and the guy was asking like $10000 for it just because it was a x-cop car.

[Chuck Norris]

Cop has syndrome or power trip. Unless it's rush hour, there is no chance in hell the cop is going to close in on a Ferrari at all.

Use the radio.

[tiger_handheld]

can the cop not see the color of the ferrari + licence plate? how hard is it to track a ferrai in vancouver?

A Port Moody cop closing in on a Ferrari? All they do best is hang out at tim hortons and pull people over for doing 60km/h in a 50km/h zone.

I wonder if the driver of the ferrari was asian.. If he is I think I have an idea as to who it was :lol

[ws6ta]

LOL what a goof that cop is. I bet he was putting more people in danger trying to catch a ferrari then the ferrari itself. I bet the owner of the ferrari just pinned it as soon as he saw the cop. If the cop pulled him over a simple "oh I didn't see you yes I was speeding" would have kept him out of any major trouble anyways.

[1exotic]

Women cop vs Ferrari = not a chance....

[Shun Izaki]

talk about a 240+kph run down #1 hwy at 3 am... it was already flying, I saw the spotlight come on, and booked to SFU into some apartments parking (which I had the remote for). And there was a buncha cops at the gate who told me to come out >_<

lol... stupid things i've done...

[StylinRed]

aw... i was hoping for a video + high speed chase + drug dealer firing at the chopper + his car getting taken out + him going on foot and getting hit by 'accident' by a cop car

;)

[fliptuner]

Motorola = faster than Ferrari
cop = endangering public safety for even trying

Should've just radio'd ahead. Barnet Hwy. only goes between St John's and Hastings.

Every cop is a goof to you. Your ideological law enforcement is one where cops provide criminals with better Customer Service than that of a Cellphone co.

[BNR32_Coupe]

This is the police, please come out with your hands up.

This is the police, please freeze and put your hands on your head. Thanks!

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in the court of law, thank you for your cooperation.

I'm arresting you on 3 counts of sexual assault, 2 counts of first degree murder and evading police. Please don't be offended, if it were up to me i'd let you go. sorry but i have to do this, hope you understand.

I do gotta agree that the cop did put more people in danger than the Ferrari owner.

[Noir]

I do gotta agree that the cop did put more people in danger than the Ferrari owner.

I disagree. The heavier onus of responsibility lies on the Ferrari driver predicating the incident. The police was only doing what they were supposed to do. Had they backed off, I'm sure they would've gotten equal criticism for that as well.

I beg to differ, had he backed off, the ferrari MAY have made it outta there fine, and then there would be no article, and we wouldn't be having this discussion. :P

[fanatiX]

very smart cops, way to race a rari lol

[Rich Sandor]

Accident rates go WAY UP as soon as a police chase is initiated. It's a proven FACT. That's why the PoMo police refused to call it a chase.

When someone is speeding down a highway, they do not intend to hurt anyone, they just want to go fast or get somewhere fast. But when you add a chasing police car, now they have to get away from the cops as well, and go faster, and now you've added a huge element of danger to everyone on the road.

If you can't stop a speeder safely, don't try to stop them.

Apathy is all good and well until a high speed incident caused by reckless driving occurs. I can already forsee the police criticisms of them not having done enough or anything at all.

[Euro7r]

It's a load of bullcrap now that they're trying to track down the ferrari driver. Seriously every day, there's people speeding, why don't they track them all down, dumb idiots.

Why the hell are we paying these idiotic cops to chase a ferrari that was probably speeding like everyone on barnett highway, instead of focusing on bigger concerns in Vancouver, like gang violence, etc.

[Nightwalker]

Police are on the lookout of a red Ferrari driven by a person who can't stop laughing.

Hahahahaha :D

Didnt you know? Going 10 km/h above the speed limit is WAY worse than trafficking illegal substances....

Taking a guess but maybe it's because it's not that troublesome tracking down an exotic car.

They actually found the driver right away b/c there's a photo on the front page of the tri-city news of the crash scene and a red Ferrari 360 spyder. Don't have a scanner but this is the best pic i could find.

I saw Hyde replied on a Chinese forum about this incident, I wonder why he didn't say the same thing here.

http://www.loyaukee.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=7790&page=1&fromuid=106#pid91502
yea right...
i've been chased down by a cop on i-5 at 140mph+

and barnet.... a f car could easily take the highway at 220+ speed at ease, crown vic? there are too many corners on barnet!
a good driver with a Civic can outrun a crown vic on barnet!

i bet the f car wasnt even driving all that fast....

http://www.loyaukee.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=7790&page=1&fromuid=106#pid91602
so someone asked him if he heard about a Ferrari accident in China, Hyde said:
i dont need to hear the news, i was there.
they were part of our group traveling to shanghai to watch F1
and the 355 was too slow and tried to catch up to us in front + lack of skills

our group was led by enzo, 575m, e55, F430, our GT3RS, a Cayenne Turbo S and a few others
our average speed was 250+ even the modded Turbo S passed our GT3 at 300+ -__- when my car topped out at 305......

They will probably replace the Crown Vics when necessary, but 99% of the population isn't going to run when when they see flashing lights, so why spend big bucks on a fast cop car? And you can't really outrun a radio either...
