The details of the crash are as follows:
A Wisconsin State Patrol Trooper located a vehicle involved in a Felony Burglary involving firearms
from the City of Eau Claire. A High-Risk traffic stop was initiated at milepost 100 eastbound on
Highway 29. Four occupants were removed from the vehicle before the driver fled from the scene.
A pursuit was initiated eastbound with speeds reaching 117mph. After approximately 3 miles, the
fleeing vehicle used a crossover and fled back westbound. As the fleeing vehicle reached the
scene of the initial traffic stop, it crossed over to the eastbound lanes and traveled westbound in the
eastbound lanes. A trooper quickly performed a successful pursuit intervention technique, sending
the fleeing vehicle off of the roadway and ending the pursuit. The driver was taken into custody and
transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. Two occupants of the vehicle were turned over to
the Eau Claire Police Department concerning their investigation. Charges for the fleeing driver are
pending investigation.
