Motorcycle Cop Chases Down A Fleeing Suspect
Read the full story on The Auto Wire We've always wondered what a motorcycle cop does when he's chasing down a fleeing suspect who just won't pull over. After all, he can't exactly do a PIT maneuver on a car, truck, or SUV. We don't believe he can even PIT another we've seen some chases involving police on motorcycles, they usually need to cavalry in the form of a Dodge Charger or something like that to come and physically stop a fleeing suspect. But in this case, a Florida trooper is able to do something on his Harley which you might think is clever. The FHP trooper is running traffic on the inside shoulder of the interstate when he clocks an Infiniti going 88 mph in a 55 mph zone. When you get caught speeding like that, you might be going to jail. But you pull over and take the punishment like a man. However, the driver of the Infiniti decides to run, as you can see in the footage. Later, we learn there's drugs and drug paraphernalia in the car, which explains the foolish choice to flee. We don't know if the driver got arrogant because he 'just' had a motorcycle cop chasing him down, or what happens in the footage. The guy exits the interstate, traves along a bigger road, then turns into a residential area while trying to ditch the trooper. He nearly succeeds, taking a turn at the last second. After all, the hog the cop is on can't slow down and take such a sharp turn. Unfortunately, neither can the Infiniti. The car ends up crashing into a ditch on the side of the road after taking the turn way too wide. In other words, the guy pitted himself. Dumping his bike, the trooper had the driver and his passenger at gunpoint immediately. So now you know what a motorcycle cop can do if you flee: let you take yourself out.

Innovative electric scooter company unveils latest game-changing creation — here are the details
Popular electric scooter and micromobility company NIU recently launched its new KQi 200F smart electric scooter, which not only boosts performance and range over previous models but also includes folding handles for increased portability. Electric scooters and bikes have been changing the commuter landscape — especially in cities — helping reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and travel times. Two-wheeled, sit-down models have been popping up from a variety of major brands like Harley-Davidson and Yadea, along with NIU, but electric kick-style scooters have become increasingly popular for riders covering shorter distances. The KQi 200F strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance by including not only a foldable stem, but also handlebars that fold down — an innovation that first arrived with last year's KQi 100F, according to a report by Electrek. That compactness will help riders more easily store their e-scooter when they're at the office, connecting with public transport, or stopping by the local watering hole. With a top speed of 20 miles per hour and a range of 33.6 miles, the KQi 200F is more than capable of handling the average commute while saving you from sweating through your clothes on a pedal bike. A battery with 365 watt-hours of stored capacity powers the scooter's 350-watt rear hub motor, which can tackle climbs of up to 20% with ease. It weighs about 44 pounds, which isn't the lightest option on the market, but with its relatively high performance, it's a reasonable trade-off, according to the report. In general, electric scooters are significantly more efficient than other modes of transportation. A report by Wired explained that one kilowatt-hour's worth of energy can carry a gas-powered vehicle less than a mile, while a more efficient electric car gets about four miles from the same amount of energy. Would you be more likely to buy an EV if the payments only cost $300 a month? Definitely Depends on the car I'm not sure Sorry but no Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. An electric scooter, however, can get more than 80 miles of range out of that same one kilowatt hour of power. A German study also found that widespread adoption of e-scooters as a commuter tool can help reduce planet-warming pollution in the mobility sector by 4%, and shared options may even be more efficient than shared e-bikes. Private ownership could also lower the lifecycle emissions for scooters by 43% compared to shared options, when you factor in the pollution produced by vehicles used for the daily roundup of the scooters. The $799 NIU KQi 200F electric scooter is available now on the company's website, but at the time of this writing, it's 25% off at just $599.

Potatoes and a smile are the secret to a long life, woman says before 114th birthday
What's older than a blender, penicillin, and the U.S. moon landing? A Michigan woman celebrating her 114th birthday on July 4. Bonita Gibson, a resident at Waltonwood Carriage Park just outside of Detroit, is believed to be the oldest living person in Michigan, according to a Waltonwood representative. Gibson is part of a small population of supercentenarians in the United States, or someone who is at least 110 years old. Other supercentenarians across the country include 114-year-old Naomi Whitehead of Pennsylvania, 114-year-old Mary Harris of Tennessee, and 113-year-old Winnie Felps of Texas, according to the Gerontology Research Group. Gibson became the oldest known living person in Michigan after the death of 114-year-old Irene Dunham on May 1, 2022. The Gerontology Research Group validated her age the following year on May 4, 2023, two months shy of her 112th birthday. Michigan woman flew for the first time at 100 years old Gibson drove until she was 99 years old, and took her first plane ride at the age of 100, flying to San Diego, a lifelong dream of hers, Waltonwood said. Gibson told USA TODAY some of the keys to her living such a long life include: Michigan woman survived multiple historical events, spent great deal of her life in Idaho Gibson was born on July 4, 1911 in a northwestern Kansas city called Hoxie, according to the Gerontology Research Group. She grew up in rural Missouri, and lived through the Spanish Flu Pandemic. As a child, she survived the mumps, measles, and whooping cough, said a representative for Waltonwood Carriage Park. Most recently, she survived COVID-19 in 2020, making her one of the oldest known survivors of the disease, according to the research group. Gibson married Kenneth Gibson, her high school sweetheart, in April 1930 in Oregon, Missouri; the pair married during the Great Depression. The couple lived on a farm at the time. "We had chickens and a huge garden and all kinds of fruit trees,' Gibson told CBS Detroit in July 2023. 'We had plenty to eat. We just didn't have any money to spend.' They eventually moved to Idaho, where her husband's relative had a farm. The move is what introduced them to the potato industry. "He said Kenny can help me in the field and you can be the cook,' Gibson told CBS Detroit. 'I hadn't cooked a thing in my life." After seven years of marriage, the pair had a son, Kenneth Richard, in January 1937. After that, the couple moved to Newdale, Idaho and later, Idaho Falls as her husband worked as a potato farmer. He later worked as a potato broker until he retired in 1977. He died in 2003. After decades in Idaho, a move to Michigan At the age of 102, she began living in a nursing home in Canton, Michigan, where her grandson lives. As her grandson was moving her to Michigan, Gibson had a request for him, Waltonwood Executive Director Angie Hanson told McKnight's Senior Living. 'She wanted to ride on the back of his Harley, but he wouldn't let her,' Hanson said. Gibson still speaks to her son, 88-year-old Kenneth Richard, every night. She also has three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. Today, she loves reading and cards, watching 'Price is Right' each day, and catching up with her friends at Waltonwood. This year, she plans to celebrate her birthday by participating in the downtown Plymouth Fourth of July Parade. There will be a banner announcing her birthday, Waltonwood said. As Gibson reflected on her life back in 2023, she recalled being married for over 70 years. She and Kenneth made it a point to enjoy themselves, having the most fun in the 1950s and 1960s, she told CBS Detroit. "We would go dancing every Saturday with a group of friends," she told the outlet. When asked what helped to hold their marriage together, she tried to answer from the perspective of her high school sweetheart. 'I would've taken her back home several times, but we didn't have any money, so we had to stay together," she said. Saleen Martin is a reporter on USA TODAY's NOW team.
