That sounds like an horrific crash.
I hope the police were following correct guidance when they deployed the devices to burst the tyres. Don't get me wrong, the driver was responsible
for the situation, but deflating the tyres of a vehicle doing 90 is bound to cause a crash.
I've the vehicle would have crashed sooner or later anyway at these speeds.
