Wrong Way Chase: A Tragic Turn

On I-170, the wrong way they sped,
A St. Louis car crash left two men dead.
Donavan and Anthony, their lives were lost,
A tragic chase with a heavy cost.

Two officers injured, their bodies in pain,
A reminder of risks that still remain.
In urban streets, where dangers clash,
The night was marked by a fatal crash.

The driver switched cars, not once but twice,
A desperate attempt to evade the lights.
The final vehicle, a silver Audi in flight,
Became the stage for a tragic night.

On I-170, the wrong way they sped,
A head-on collision left two young men dead.
Donavan Harris and Anthony Doss,
Two lives cut short, a devastating loss.

Two officers injured, their bones now broken,
A grim reminder of the risks unspoken.
The driver, Terrell Jackson, now faces the law,
With charges that reflect the chaos he saw.

Murder, assault, the charges are clear,
A million-dollar bond holds him near.
This chase, a story of choices and cost,
Of lives disrupted, and futures lost.

But it raises a question we can’t ignore:
Should police pursue in cities, where risks soar?
In densely packed streets, the stakes are high,
And innocent lives can be caught in the lie.

The balance of justice and public safety remains,
A debate that echoes through urban domains.
How do we protect without adding harm,
When a chase can end in a tragic alarm?
