Audi A6 in pieces...

I just feel sorry for the survivors and families of all involved - there are no winners in crashes like this.

Police influence ??

The really interesting bit is how they were 'clocked' at 166km/h only minutes earlier.
I get the feeling 'clocked' means police radar not speed camera, which usually leads to the cops trying to pull the car over to issue a ticket.
There are reports of the police misconduct attending the site too, hmm.


I'm willing to bet there was some sort of police chase here

So what, the cops should turn a blind eye?

My guess is that they were detected but not chased - the car that detected them could have been heading in the other direction, or already responding to another reported incident. The issue could have been noted for attention later (166km/h on the M1 is crazy, but there are crazier things that go on).

It is standard practice for the misconduct unit to get involved when an incident occurs a short time after contact with police.
