Kid Touching Teacher Attempts Suicide

If only every kid touching teacher would crash themselves into trees- but then there would be a huge shortage in union dues to Teacher Organizations.

From LATimes here:

A Los Angeles teacher suspected of committing lewd acts on a child led police on a car chase throughout the South Bay before crashing into a tree on Tuesday.

Detectives had been watching the suspect’s home in Lakewood for about a day as part of an ongoing investigation and authorities planned to arrest him but a warrant had not yet been issued.

The chase began after detectives approached the man’s pickup truck about 12:30 p.m. in Lakewood. “He said, ‘I’m not stopping, I’m suicidal,‘ put the car in gear and drove off.” He led authorities on the 405 and 10 freeways and along Pacific Coast Highway through Torrance before his vehicle left the road and plunged down an embankment in Rancho Palos Verdes. The vehicle went airborne and crashed into a tree about 1:30 p.m. The man’s condition was not immediately known.

Remember when vehicles would burst into flame on impact? Damn.

Was this the teacher’s class picture (with hattip to DuckDuckGrayDuck)?
