CHICAGO, IL, USA
One day Charles Gardner, 35, sees two teenage boys breaking into his car. As they take off, Gardner jumps on the car and grabs the luggage rack. The teenage driver speeds up. He hits a light pole. Then he drives through two fences. Gardner hangs on for dear life. The car gets on the highway. By this time, more than two dozen police cars are following it. After 20 minutes, the driver slows down. Police surround the car. The teens are in big trouble. As for Gardner, he has some cuts, but he is okay. “It’s a miracle that he wasn’t killed,” said police officer Michael Kuemmeth. |
