Car chase in New York City , really?
I was in New York last month, traffic doesn't move that quick.
Tad exaggerated surly?

Ah, I didn’t realise you were in the US Lyle, thanks

They left the event in a car, were followed so escaped into a police station and took a taxi from there !

It was breaking news on LBC (where I first heard it) and on the Beeb
I should imagine it’s on all news platforms, not just ‘non reputable tabloids’ Lyle

Sorry but the trumped up dramatic stories I’ve read were all from the worst tabloids. At least here in the US. Anything else I’ve seen didn’t read as over the top. I find it hard to believe there was a true 2 hr car chase in Manhattan at anytime of the day.

I’ve just glanced at that tabloid that everyone loves to hate and it’s not even on there. 😂

After 911 New York installed a super duper surveillance system, so it will all be on camera.

Yes absolutely, the only people/person reporting this so far is a spokesman fro the couple

SKY are reporting that the the spokesman has said that the couple were in a near catastrophic car chase involving paparazzi

There are police on virtually every corner in NYC, CTV everywhere, I shall await the official announcement before passing judgement.

The only thing I will repost is that traffic in Manhattan rarely gets above 20/25K per hour…

Here it is on the BBC news.

If this took place in Manhattan as alleged, the traffic is notoriously slow 24 hours a day.

DH and I have got out of taxis on many an occasion and walked as it was quicker than sitting in grid locked traffic.

It’ll be interesting to see what the NYPD have to say.

LadyGracie Wed 17-May-23 16:15:02

More publicity for the non attention seeking couple.

It’s being compared with the car chase in Paris

It would be, it’s Harry’s greatest fear

FannyCornforth Wed 17-May-23 16:14:18

A UK pap being interviewed on LBC, apparently the paps in the US are even less principled

I’ve just read where it took place Manhattan area.
I’m sure lots of you here have been in a taxi in that area, you hardly move.

BlueBelle Wed 17-May-23 16:10:02

Some mean comments from some grand netters I can see you almost rubbing your hands in glee
Shakes head can’t find an emoji for that 😬😵‍💫

MerylStreep Wed 17-May-23 16:06:06

The police were a bit slow in stopping a 2 hr car chase in New York

Calendargirl Wed 17-May-23 15:58:47

Seems the USA is not too safe for them either.

Spot on aggie.

Smileless2012 Wed 17-May-23 15:52:53

Maybe it's time to keep a lower profile. Thank goodness the children weren't involved.

So, constantly decry the media, but get your spokesperson to alert Reuters? It’s up there with ‘ Chip Pan Nearly Goes on Fire in Clydebank’!
