My heart goes out to the officers involved in the chase and the family involved. Dirtbags are dead too.
Car fleeing Calif. police hits pickup, killing 7 Among the dead are four young children who were thrown from truck The Associated Press updated 8:07 a.m. PT, Sun., Aug 9, 2009 FRESNO, Calif. - The California Highway Patrol says a car fleeing from police ran a stop sign and slammed into a pickup, killing three people in the car and four young children in the truck. The patrol says police in Dinuba, southeast of Fresno, were trying to stop the car Saturday afternoon for a traffic infraction. The patrol says the truck was carrying two adults and their five children. Four of the children — ages 1, 3, 4 and 7 — were ejected and died at the scene. The fifth child — age 8 — and the parents were taken to a hospital. The adults were identified as 29-year-old Carlos Salazar Jr. and 26-year-old Jennifer Salazar of Orange Cove. All three men in the car being chased were killed. Their identities and ages weren't known. A highway patrol dispatcher refused to discuss the accident with The Associated Press and said the agency would be able to answer questions later Sunday.

why no car seats for the babies? 
 My money is on it being a poor family, first generation American at best, in about a 95 Ford standard cab. W/o reading the article my money is on the family in the truck being illegal migrant workers - at least the parents. Dinuba is a farming community/area....... Brian |
