At approximately 10:05pm, a Marshall County Sheriff’s Deputy observed a black Mustang east bound on US68 East in the Briensburg community traveling in excess of 83 MPH. As the deputy initiated emergency equipment, the operator of the Mustang fled accelerating well over 100 MPH. Deputies were able to catch up to the vehicle on Big Bear Hwy where the vehicle again fled nearly striking another deputy head on. The operator failed to negotiate a curve while fleeing from police at high rates of speed and ran off the roadway causing the vehicle to overturn. The operator was quickly apprehended. The operator was identified as a 17 year old teen from Hazel, Calloway County. The teen was treated and released from Marshall County Hospital for minor injuries. After release, the operator was lodged at the McCracken County Juvenile Detention Center. There were 3 other juvenile passengers in the vehicle. All suffered injuries as a result of the actions taken by the operator of the Mustang.
