>> The Post reports that the sole survivor of a deadly Chevy Chase car crash has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Montgomery County Police, alleging that they rammed the car he was in, causing it to hit a tree and burst into flames, killing the driver and two passengers. Police had been pursuing the vehicle after it had been reported stolen; they claim it entered Chevy Chase Circle at high speed, lost control and crashed into a tree. In the suit, 18-year-old Reeco Richardson claims that car had been going up to 100 mph down Connecticut Avenue but slowed to a stop in the circle, and only hit the tree after being rammed by a police car.
