Police Car Chase Kills Teen

The suspect and cops blew through three stop signs

A 16-year-old girl was killed after the car she was riding in was hit by a man running from police. The Dallas Police Department has now launched an administrative inquiry, similar to an internal investigation, into whether the officers involved in that chase followed the rules.

The day Angeles Ipina died was the same day Dallas Cowboy Josh Brent was arrested for an alleged drinking and driving accident. That day, there was no media coverage of the Ipina case. Dallas Police released a small statement on their Facebook page the night of the accident, but it said nothing about the death of a 16-year-old girl or that their officers' actions were being reviewed.

    Car chases only make sense in movies - No reason in the real world to have a vehicle chase.
