(Iowa State Patrol/District 4 – Denison): The Iowa State Patrol, on Tuesday, said a pursuit earlier this week in Harrison County, ended with a car on fire in the ditch, and a driver taken directly to jail. In a Facebook post, troopers said the incident happened when a driver tried to elude troopers on Interstate 29. The Patrol used stop sticks to flatten the tires of the suspect vehicle, but according to the Patrol’s Facebook post, “The driver continued to drive on their flat tires which caused their vehicle to catch fire.”

Troopers then helped pull the driver out of the burning vehicle and took them to jail. The Iowa State Patrol did not identify the driver or say what charges they could face.
