No word in either article on whether the car was stolen. That’s also the trouble with cars without plates, it’s way harder to track down fleeing people later, and yet they still didn’t chase.
Also some weird stuff in the TVA piece. They say that it was “quelques centaines de mètres” from the interception to the crash, even though it’s 1.7 km, close to the 2 km CTV used. Also the random business owner they talked to, an “amateur de voitures” and “père de famille” who owns a car industry business complaining that cars on this 5-6 lane arterial regularly go too fast. Well yes, that’s the point of this road, to go very fast, and that’s the impression I’ve gotten the few times I’ve taken a bus on it. That’s what the people want, apparently; there are ways to fix it if people want to slow it down. But obviously going fast, well, people are going 50, 60, but looking at this crash, it was way more than that. Different kind of problem.

The VIN will tell you the ownership of the vehicle.
