Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies chased the suspect’s Ford Taurus south on Interstate 380 from Cedar Rapids and two Iowa Highway Patrol officers joined the chase onto I-80 eastbound. They say the suspect intentionally rammed a patrol cruiser and hit the second trooper’s car when he spun into the median and got caught on the cable barrier. The suspect, 30-year-old Kelston Bogguess of Moline, Illinois, was hurt in the crash and taken to University Hospitals in Iowa City. None of the law officers were hurt.
