Dallas Cop Car Chase Update With A New Cop Car Chase

This morning I looked online to see if more was known about yesterday's wild car chase in Dallas. I could find nothing. That seemed odd.

Then a few minutes ago I looked at the Dallas Morning News, online, and saw that there has been another Dallas cop car chase. This time involving a woman leading the police on a 90 minute chase through Dallas County.

This morning's chase started in Irving and ended in Dallas on Buckner Boulevard near White Rock Lake. At one point the woman was driving 100 mph, but slowed to 20 mph after her tires were popped by spikes. The woman is in custody, obviously, with no other details.

But, in this same article, about today's chase, there was information about yesterday's chase that ended in a crash at an intersection on Plano Road. The driver's name is Shane W. Michel. He was taken to Baylor University Medical Center where he is in critical condition as of this morning.

Michel has a record of arrests for drugs, resisting arrest and burglary. There was a warrant, active, for his arrest on a forgery charge.

Michel's dad, Bill Michel, told local TV that his son is bi-polar and that this was not his first police chase.
