Precinct 2 Constable Michael Gothard said Thursday that his deputies were unable to communicate directly with Department of Public Safety troopers who also were in pursuit. Deputy constables tried to call it off as rush hour approached, but since they couldn't communicate with DPS cars, they rejoined the chase.
