Pointless loss of life

A fugitive fleeing police in a high-speed chase ends by slamming into a car and killing an innocent man.

And from what serious crime was the criminal fleeing from justice? Murder? Kidnapping?

No, it was passing bad checks.

According to the criminal's ex-husband, she said she would kill herself before going to jail.

Gee, lady, if it was so important to you, why did you do the crime in the first place?
