There's already a lot of traffic and then you've got some crazy man coming through there at a high rate of speed. It was kind of shocking."
Craig Gilmore told 41 Action News, "Police cars were right on my tail so I pulled over to the right side of the road. It was a pretty surreal experience. That was the first car chase I've ever witnessed. I got front row seat to the arrest."
