Man Throws Baby Out of Car During 100 Mph Chase

Tue 14 Sep 2004 - 2:23pm (UK)
An American threw his fiancee's eight-month-old daughter out of a car as he fled police after being accused of domestic violence.
Can you say, "Instant attempted murder charges?"
The girl, strapped into a car seat, was unhurt but the man was later killed in a crash. Dana Bettin, 23, died, three days after the dramatic 100 mph highway chase in the northern US state of Wisconsin that ended when he crashed his fiancee's car into an unoccupied police squad car. At one point, he slowed down, opened the car door and dropped the baby in the car seat onto the road, sending it tumbling toward the middle of the carriageway. "As the baby was flying toward me I noticed that she was crying very hard and looked scared," Wisconsin State Patrol Sergeant. David Catalano said. "Fortunately she was seat-belted into the child seat so that as it slid forward on the highway and then rolled over she escaped without any injuries," he said.

Sheriff's Sergeant Dan Pamenter said the man at first tried to put the baby out of the car on the hard shoulder, but the car door was in his way. He eventually pulled back into traffic and pushed the baby out as he was accelerating. "His car was jerking back and forth," Pamenter said. "I didn't know what he was doing. He seemed to care for the baby."

"I was pretty certain he wasn't going to stop until he crashed," Pamenter said. The chase continued at speeds up to 100 mph. The pursuit ended when Bettin had a minor collision with a vehicle and then crashed into an unoccupied squad car. The car he was driving rolled over and he was pinned underneath. He died at a hospital in Green Bay.
GOOD RIDDANCE. ANOTHER MAGGOT SQUISHED!
Catalano spoke to the baby's mother and said the girl is going fine. "Her mother is very devastated about everything right now," he said. "It was her fiance involved and she's very upset."
