An unusual pursuit took place Sunday afternoon, in Fremont County. Sheriff’s officials say a little after 3-p.m. deputies were called to the area of Highway 2 and 370th Avenue, for a report of an erratic semi tractor. Deputies caught up with the 1994 Kenworth semi, which was traveling at a high rate of speed westbound, in the eastbound lanes of the 3100 block of Highway 2.

The semi failed to yield to deputies and reached speeds of 96-miles per hour northbound on Highway 275 in the southbound lane of travel. The vehicle came to a stop in the 700 block of Main Street, in Tabor. Authorities say the driver – who was not identified — was transported to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, and later to a Council Bluffs hospital, to undergo a mental evaluation.

Charges are pending completion of the investigation. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office was assisted during the incident, by deputies with the Mills County Sheriff’s Office, Tabor Police, and Sidney Fire and Rescue.
