The Ohio State Highway Patrol is looking for information of the identity of a driver who led police on a high speed chance late Saturday afternoon.
At 5:46 p.m., a trooper from the Bowling Green Post observed a GMC Sierra traveling at 92 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 75 southbound near the 185 milepost.
The trooper caught up to the vehicle near the Wooster Street exit and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle failed to pull over and a pursuit ensued. The trooper pursued the vehicle to the rest area and then back north to US 6. The vehicle reentered I-75 and went north and exited at Ohio 582.
While exiting at the top of the ramp to Ohio 582, the trooper attempted to stop the vehicle making contact with a pursuit intervention technique, but the vehicle was able to continue eastbound on Ohio 582. Both the patrol car and the suspect’s vehicle sustained damage.
Once the pursuit crossed Ohio 199 approaching the Village of Luckey, the pursuit was terminated for safety reasons.
During the pursuit the driver threw items from the window of the vehicle. Those items were recovered. The driver’s identity was not able to be determined. Anyone with information on the identity of the driver can contact the Bowling Green Dispatch Center at 419-352-2481.
The patrol was assisted by the Wood County Sheriff’s Office during the pursuit.
