Berlin: High-speed police chases reaching 'epidemic proportions'
A 24-year-old man faces a string of charges in connection with a high-speed police chase that began in Warrenville and ended with his SUV going airborne and crashing in an Aurora neighborhood, authorities said Monday.
Last week's pursuit is the latest in a rash of high-speed chases across the Western suburbs. DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin planned to meet with state lawmakers in Springfield Tuesday to discuss the issue, among a number of other topics, and what can be done legislatively, spokesman Paul Darrah said.
"The recent wave of individuals fleeing from the police is reaching epidemic proportions," Berlin said in a statement Monday."As I have said before, driving is a privilege, not a right. It is a privilege that if abused, can lead to deadly consequences. We have been lucky thus far in this regard, but it is my fear that our luck may soon run out. I cannot stress this enough, if you hear sirens and see flashing lights behind you, pull over.
