CLALLAM COUNTY, Wash. — A 22-year-old driver was booked into the Clallam County Jail Saturday after leading a sheriff’s sergeant on a pursuit.
Law enforcement officials said after the sergeant ran the license plate on a Buick stopped at Pioneer Road and Gales Street in Port Angeles, it showed registered to a Honda.
The driver then ran a stoplight at Pioneer Road and Highway 101, going at a high rate of speed, officials said. The driver continued to flee from the sergeant but lost control, leaving the road in the 2800 block of Monroe Road, hitting a stump and went air born.
The Buick landed on its wheels just yards from the stump after the three-minute chase and the car’s airbag was deployed, officials said.
After the Sergeant identified the driver, medics were requested, and she was taken to Olympic Medical Center with minor injuries, law enforcement said.
Officials said the woman had an outstanding warrant issued by the Department of Corrections and was later taken into custody.
She was booked into jail for investigation of attempting to elude, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
