Maybe you need to read the story then, also add in that the cops were apparently 500 meters behind him when he crashed and the pursuit lasted all of 37 seconds
But for what reason, it could have been simply dui or some thing a lot worse
Have you seen "highway patrol" most people pull over once they know they have been spotted and the cops are behind them.
Also lets have a look at the facts, people are up in arms because there has been 5 fatal police pusuits in the last 6 months, there were 716 pusuits in 2011, 5 out of 716 is a very small number, there were 658 in 2010 with no fatalities.
