Things aren't always what they seem in the great river. The horrific crash that killed an elderly couple on Thanksgiving day on the Ohio Turnpike, supposedly caused by a reckless driver going about 150 mph, doesn't add up in light of news stories covering the release of video footage of the incident.
The video footage in question, showing the aftermath of a fiery wreck involving two vehicles, has now been released by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Associated Press reported on Dec. 10.
Video footage from the crash was captured by a police cruiser's dash camera and it shows the driver, identified as 24-year-old Andrew D. Gans, racing past officers at breakneck speeds. Shortly after the car sped past troopers, the aftermath of the crash can be seen.
The couple killed in the crash were identified as Wilbur and Margaret McCoy of Toledo. They were both 77 years old at the time of the incident. They were killed instantly after their mini-van was rear ended and burst into flames.
The crash occurred on the Ohio Turnpike, which serves as a primary corridor to Chicago and Pittsburgh and runs east-west in the northern section of the state.
Family and neighbors were shocked to hear of the tragic Ohio crash that killed the couple on Thanksgiving.
"I think it's so senseless," said Bernadine Marsrow, a neighbor of the Toledo, Ohio couple. It's five simple words that sum up an accident that took the lives of the elderly couple.
On whose part is it senseless, Miss Marsrow? Her statement sounds like it is coming from someone who knew that the crash was going to occur. A better statement would have been, "It was so needless." Using the statement she did, Miss Marsrow appears to be directing the reader's attention away from the details of the story and trying to focus only on the fact that Mr. and Mrs. McCoy had died.
Christian Savoy, the author of the source article used here, appears to know more than he is letting on. In his following statement, "It's five simple words that sum up an accident that took the lives of the elderly couple," it would appear that Mr. Savoy is trying to push the reader to a quick end of the story so that the reader doesn't begin to question the details of it. The tone of the statement suggests that the Mr. Savoy knows details about the 'accident' that wouldn't be available on a police report.
Investigators believe alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash. Why is it that drugs and/or alcohol always seem to be mentioned in crashes that look suspicious, or would cause people to question the legitimacy of the police if the details of it were looked into?
Police who witnessed the car speeding shortly before the Ohio crash occurred stated that the vehicle was travelling so fast that they had trouble trying to catch up to the car.
"Just because it was going so fast, we were never able to get into a position where we were actually engaged in a pursuit with it," Lt. Anne Ralston, a patrol spokeswoman said. "We were simply trying to catch up and intercept this vehicle and get it stopped."
A car passes you reportedly doing 150 mph. You sped up to catch the car to get it to stop, yet you were not able to get into position to engage in a pursuit. By definition, if a police office is accelerating his or her patrol vehicle to catch, intercept, and stop a vehicle, that means the officer is engaged in pursuit of the vehicle already. Lt. Anne Ralston lied.
The Ohio crash video shows Gans' car zooming past police and then vanishing a short while later. A second video shows a trooper alerted to the speeding vehicle about to turn around on the Ohio Turnpike when a car speeds past. The trooper tries unsuccessfully to catch the car, and about 10 minutes later comes across a crash scene with cars on fire," The Associated Press writes.
If I'm a cop and someone blows by me at 150, I'm flooring it. It certainly wouldn't take me 10 minutes to catch up. This trooper wasn't going as fast as he said he was. From another point of view, if I were travelling at 150 mph, I wouldn't be disappearing 'a short while later,' I would be disappearing almost immediately.
According to the official story, Andrew Gans, the driver of the first vehicle, drives past the cop car at 150+ mph when he decides to turn around on the Ohio Turnpike. The only way the officer could have known this is if he, or she, was in pursuit of Mr. Gans, which according to Lt. Ralston, they were not.
Also, according to the story given by Mr. Savoy, which apparently he got from the police, Mr. Gans was driving 150 mph or better when another car speeds past!?! This second car, as attested to in the second video must have been doing at least 180 mph in order to 'speed past' Mr. Gans. Unless the second driver is driving a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or some other high-end vehicle, this would be impossible.
The trooper rushes to the crash scene with a fire extinguisher, yelling to bystanders to see if anyone is in the car. A man is heard telling the trooper the car passed him going "about 150 mph."
Which car? It appears as though the officer in question was attempting to put out a fire in Mr. Gans' vehicle. If the police officer ran up to the accident scene with a fire extinguisher and had to ask if anyone was in the car, this means he parked far away from it. Plus, if the accident had just happened, why were there bystanders, and why did the officer ask if anyone was in the car? It would appear the officer wanted to make sure Mr. Gans was dead, which in itself implies that he already knew Mr. and Mrs. McCoy were dead. How could he have known this.
Police say Gans was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide with a reckless specification for his role in the fatal Ohio crash and he is currently incarcerated at the Lucas County Jail on $1 million bond.
Two questions. One, what is a reckless specification, and two, why is there a seemingly obsessive need to keep using the words Ohio crash? What is Mr. Savoy trying to say here?
In October, a month before the aforementioned Ohio crash, 6 people were killed after a car and a police cruiser collided at an intersection near Ohio's capital, CBS News reports.
Mr. Savoy's writing style in this story is one of simplicity. The use of the word 'aforementioned' indicates a drastic shift in the tone of the article. It appears as though Mr. Savoy is trying to charm the reader, to cement in the reader's mind that everything is as he has related it, the story is over, and there is no need to re-read the article and thus question the details of it. Given what we have already seen concerning Mr. Savoy, this certainly appears to be the case.
The officer was heading to the scene of a robbery with his lights and sirens on when he entered the intersection at the start of a yellow light and slammed into the victims' vehicle, which was stopped in the middle of the intersection for unknown reasons.
This is a blatant lie. There is too much information given here to be believable. The reason given for the cop's speeding is false, and the reason the vehicle was stopped in the middle of the intersection is known.
I have personally witnessed police officers turn on their sirens approaching a crowded intersection only to turn them off after they got through it. What happened in this case is the officer in question didn't want to wait at the stop light, turned on his lights and siren in order to be able to get through the intersection more quickly, only he couldn't because he hit a stopped vehicle. The statement of the officer heading to the scene of a robbery was false, given only as a cover story for reckless driving, and to escape six counts of vehicular homicide, which is the exactly what Andrew Gans is being charged with.
The victims in the crash were a male driver and five female passengers were killed, one of the victims was a small child. The officer sustained a serious head injury as a result of the crash and he was taken to a hospital. He was treated and released and has made a full recovery.
This is another misdirection statement. Attention was diverted from the deaths of the passengers killed and to the cop that cracked his head, as though the deaths of the people in the stopped vehicle didn't matter.
There does appear to be some connections, though, between the two stories. 1) Suspicious activity by police officers; 2) bad cover stories for their suspicious behavior; 3) People died in both incidents; in the first incident, a police officer is not mentioned as having caused the accident, but his behavior is suspicious. In the second incident, the story given by the police officer is suspicious, and a police officer is directly mentioned as the cause of the deaths
