No doubt there will be loads of people blaming the police yet again.
Feel sorry for their families

Sympathies for the families, passengers (if unwitting), police that had to attend the scene and for the residents that witnessed the carnage.

not on for the familys to deal with it , if you run they will follow !!!! none the less atleast they killed themselfs rather than a police office or a member of the public , not saying its a good thing but you know what i mean .

No Sympathy for them, even though they had run a red light their was no need to drive off at high speed, It's the Police I feel sorry for and others who have to clear up a mess like this!!!!!!!!!!!

End of the day its the driver who ****ed off not the others in the car .. he/she is to blame for the deaths !! Even if the car was stolen the passengers are very unlikely to face series charges !

Another police chase on the M1 near Chesterfield last night resulted in a crash killing one of the passengers, sounds like the driver and another passenger did a runner but were caught nearby. The motorway was closed all night Northbound.

Very sad that 3 young people have lost their lives but if you drive like that in a built up area you are playing with fire.
As someone else said it was lucky they didn't take out an innocent passer by/motorist.

Just seen this on the news looks like a very high speed crash looking at the wreckage.
Don’t think they need to show the blood stained roof on the news if it where one of my family members the last thing I would want to see

Didn’t mention if it was stolen etc

think some comments are a bit harsh, yes they could have killed, but no one deserves to die cos they made the wrong choice or maybe forced into a situation.
they don't give a death penalty for murder, why should we be happy at death for youngsters that steal cars!

not condoning it, i'd kill if my daughter was runover by one of these kids, i know i'm contradicting, but sometimes life just isn't fair
condolences to the families
my spelling is poor, sorry

Can't blame the police for doing there job in this situation.

Didn't read it all but it said 1 might survive? hope it's the driver so they can live the rest of there life knowing they just killed 3 friends because they decided to run a light and fail to stop for police.

Regardless of who they are and background, such a shame and waste of life. There is people I detest but i'd never wish this upon anyone.

The fault lies at the feet of the driver of course, both for the reasons that the police were following and also for the way that his driving was responsible for the crash.

If the police see a car breaking the law, or they are suspicious for some reason then it is their job to follow and stop the car involved of course.
