Crack-Smoking Driver Ends Police Chase by Fatally Shooting Self.

LYON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A man who police say was smoking a crack pipe and laughing at officers as he led them on highway chase Wednesday ended the pursuit by fatally shooting himself.

The 25-year-old Lansing man shot himself in the temple with a revolver while driving his Chevrolet Blazer eastbound on Interstate 96 in Oakland County's Lyon Township, according to Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte. The site is about 30 miles west of Detroit.

The suspect's vehicle crashed into a retaining wall about 4:20 p.m. No one else was injured. His name was not immediately released.

Police said the incident began in Ingham County with reports of a motorist driving erratically, and later involved Livingston County deputies.

Deputies said they saw the man smoking a crack pipe and laughing at them as they signaled for him to pull over, the Livingston County Daily Press and Argus reported on its Web site.
