I was coming back onto the island earlier about an hour ago and stopped to get something for dinner. While I was in the restaurant, I heard a bunch of sirens but didn't see where they were going. As I headed home on Broadway (the main road in Galveston), about five blocks from my turn, I saw a ton of red and blue flashing lights in my rearview mirror. They got closer but still far enough away that I could get to the street where I was going to turn and get out of their way. So I turned and then pulled over and waited. As they raced past through the intersection, I started counting. I got to 18 when I noticed that several of them were turning off and going to the beach. There must have been at least 20 more cruisers go past after I quit counting. I got out of the car and watched them head down towards a hotel on the beach, in different directions and all around. I sort of wanted to go farther east and see where they were going. But the next thing I knew, they were all headed west again.
The best answer anyone around me had was something about a Toyota 4-runner that the cops were chasing from Dickinson.
Hou/Galvers might want to check the news later tonight. I honestly don't see why anyone would come here during a high speed chase. There aren't many ways to get away once you get here.
