Monroe County Central Dispatch received a report that the Flat Rock Police Department was pursuing a dark green Ford Explorer southbound on North Telegraph Road. The Flat Rock police ended their pursuit shortly after entering Monroe County.
According to authorities, Monroe County sheriff’s deputies later spotted the Explorer heading northbound near Sigler Road. When a deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, it sped off.
Authorities said the SUV swerved across all four lanes of North Telegraph Road, traveling at speeds between 20 and 70 mph. Deputies managed to deflate several tires near South Huron River Drive, but the vehicle continued northbound.
The driver allegedly made a U-turn and headed south before colliding head-on with a Monroe County patrol vehicle. After turning around again, the SUV resumed driving north.
Eventually, the vehicle left the road and drove through multiple parking lots on its rims before stopping outside a car wash near the intersection of Telegraph Road and Matilda Avenue.
The driver was arrested and charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting and obstructing, felonious assault on a police officer, operating under the influence of drugs, possession of methamphetamine, and driving while license suspended.
She has only been identified as a 29-year-old from Lincoln Park and further details are expected to be revealed following her arraignment.
