If he had been going even half the terminal speed he would probably have missed her and even caught the driver, but we will never know.

hence my earlier point about there having to be 2 police in the car before high speed pursuits can take place .There is potential for high speed chases every time a car goes out on patrol so imo there should always be 2 officers in the cars one to drive and one to operate the radio and watch for pedestrians
