LOS ANGELES — A car barreling through the air in a high-speed action movie does not follow the same laws of physics in the real world, and law enforcement officials hope to drive home that point in a new anti-street racing campaign unveiled this week.
The California Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies launched the campaign by staging a baby blue Lamborghini crashed into a light pole on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
The effort to deter street racing arrives just as "Fast X" is released nationwide Friday, in what promises to be the last entry in the "Fast and Furious" car-racing action franchise starring Vin Diesel.
