YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME! … OOPS! A 53-yearold woman, fleeing police near downtown Rochester, Minn., after driving erraticall­y and using a bullhorn to yell at people, plowed into newly-poured concrete that was part of road constructi­on project, and came to an immediate stop.

CONGRATULA­TIONS, MA’AM, HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE: A 19-year-old woman refused to pull over for miles as police, with sirens blaring, chased her down for “speeding and driving recklessly” at 8 in the morning in Key Largo, Fla.
