VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A Delaware man went over 100 miles per hour during a pursuit on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel on Sunday night before crashing in Virginia Beach, police say.
The pursuit started around 10 p.m. on the Eastern Shore side of the bridge-tunnel. CBBT Police Chief Edward Spencer said the suspect’s vehicle was stuck in an EZ Pass lane at the toll plaza, and officers smelled marijuana when they went over to help.
The driver then took off, with police giving chase until speeds got too high. Spencer says the suspect, Devlin Dalonte Smith-Coleman, of Wilmington, topped 100 mph.

I bet driving at 100 m.p.h. on those bridges (some jut repaved) and through the tunnels is fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, dangerous. But if you’re good at it and have driven race cars………
Kinda dumb of course to say the least. it’s hard to outrun cameras and radios.
When yer caught, yer caught. I can’t see making it so much worse.
and then he crashed the car. Genius……..
