State Police say a fleeing driver was apprehended Wednesday when his speeding vehicle was brought to an abrupt halt with the use of a PIT maneuver on Interstate 65 in Scott County in southern Indiana.
Police say 34-year-old Kyle Edward Jurkovic of Joliet, Illinois refused to pull over for a state trooper for following too closely.
Speeds exceeded 100 miles an hour.
Jurkovic turned onto State Road 56 at the Scottsburg exit and attempted to re-enter I-65 via the northbound on-ramp.
A state trooper used the PIT maneuver on Jurkovic’s SUV, bringing the pursuit to a stop when it spun off the on-ramp and overturned onto the emergency lane of northbound I-65.
Jurkovic is charged with Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, Reckless Driving, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Paraphernalia.
