Three truck drivers put on the brakes to help police. The police were trying to stop a man who led them on a high-speed chase for more than 80km.
The truckers first drove next to each other. They slowed to about 8kph to form a rolling roadblock. The fleeing driver stopped and ran away on foot but was quickly captured, the police said.
Trucker Edwin Beach said he had heard police radio messages and said, "OK, where's the high-speed chase at?" He talked to two other drivers over his radio and placed his truck in the middle of the freeway.

"We were all kind of laughing because he was running down the freeway," Beach said. Names of the other two truckers were not immediately available.
Speeds during the chase were over 160kph.
The fleeing car was reported to have been in a hit-and-run.

三名司機將他們的卡車減速以協助警方。當時警方正在飛車追捕一名男子，這場飛車追逐已超過八十公里。
警方表示，卡車司機先是將他們的卡車並排駕駛，然後減速至時速八公里成為一排活動的路障。這名逃逸的駕駛只好停車步行逃跑，但旋即就被警方逮捕。
其中一位卡車司機艾德恩:畢奇說，他聽到警用無線電中的對話說：「現在那場飛車追捕是到哪裡了？」，然後他透過他的無線電與另外兩名駕駛聯繫，並在高速公路上將他們的卡車並排成一排路障。
「當那個嫌犯從高速公路上跑走時，我們都有點想笑，」畢奇說。另外兩名卡車駕駛的名字目前還無從得知。
這場高速追捕過程中，最高時速超過一百六十公里。
據報導指出，該車輛是在肇事後逃逸。

Have you ever argued with your parents about politics, news or social issues? Maybe you think their opinions are outdated, while they claim you have been brainwashed by the Internet. The truth is, neither of you is wrong. You’re simply living in different “filter bubbles,” seeing entirely different versions of reality.

A document long considered an unofficial copy of the “Magna Carta” has been identified as a rare original issued by King Edward I in 1300. Tucked away in Harvard Law School’s library, the manuscript was acquired in 1946 for a mere US$27.50. Medieval history professors from King’s College London used ultraviolet light and spectral imaging to analyze the faded text. They found that the handwriting, wording, and word order perfectly match those of the six other surviving charters from that year. The Magna Carta was the first document to formally assert that the king is subject to the law. It remains a
