The Mt. Horeb Police Department said a car driven by a 31-year-old Platteville woman was going eastbound in the westbound side of Highway 18/151. The car at times drove into oncoming traffic and was traveling at high speeds, reaching 95 mph at one point, police said.

According to the report, spike strips were deployed multiple times but did not stop the car.

In a statement, Mt. Horeb Police Chief Jeff Veloff said the vehicle ran over a set of spike strips near Williamsburg Way, then drove through the median into oncoming traffic. Police said the pursuit continued onto the eastbound Beltline until the vehicle crashed near Park Street attempting to avoid another set of spikes, Veloff said.

Authorities said no one was injured in the incident but the driver was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
