Driver begs cops to shoot him after 130 mph chase

 NY Daily News--A police chase that exceeded speeds of more than 130 mph ended when the driver crashed and begged officers to shoot him. Police used a stun gun Friday morning on the man, who faces charges of driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding, aggravated assault by motor vehicle and resisting arrest.

Police say an officer tried to stop the man on Ga. 400 for speeding about 1:45 a.m., but he sped away in his Mercedes C230. He left Ga. 400, went westbound in the eastbound lanes of Old Milton Parkway, forcing oncoming drivers off the highway. He sideswiped a police car, lost control and slammed into a tree.

Police said he jumped from the car and started yelling, "Shoot me, shoot me."

The man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

That was on the news here, amazing!!! There have been some unbelievable chases on 400. Several years back a man chose to flee at top speeds police from the Roswell-Alpharetta area a few miles north for passing bogus checks. He attepmted to exit 400 onto I-285, rolled his vehicle (believe it was a Navigator) several times into a concrete barrier wall between lanes on I-285, was ejected across that wall into oncoming traffic. Didn't survive.
