A pretty steep conjecture, that the wrong way driver wouldn't have been even more dangerous if he was fleeing a pursuit. Though it's very weird that there wouldn't be communication between WSP officers in Ellensburg and Yakima and Sunnyside (as well as sheriffs). WSP is pretty tight lipped though- we may never know what happened. I've already seen more than one version of this story, in different local media (I live nearby in Tri Cities)

How much more dangerous could he have been then speeding wrong way on an interstate and killing two kids??

“Lets add armed individuals also driving at high speeds going the opposite direction of traffic!!” Is the dumbest response ever. Any chase will make the driving more extreme. They can’t outrun a radio.

They could always radio ahead with these situations and they do. But what’s the point of advising other cops if they can’t chase them either?

The police ahead could shutdown the road and warn people to so they don't get killed.
