FALUN - A Falun man was arrested on multiple requested charges after the car he was driving was allegedly clocked at 99 mph Thursday evening.
At approximately 8:05 p.m. Thursday, a Saline County Sheriff's deputy was in the 2000 block of W. Falun Road when his vehicle was passed by a gray 2007 Toyota Corolla allegedly going 99 mph, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. The deputy attempted to stop the westbound vehicle, but it continued for 1.5 miles before it turned north onto S. Halstead Road.
The car accelerated again and shortly after, the driver, identified as William Carr, 48, of Falun, lost control of the vehicle and it went into the ditch, Soldan said. The car then went back onto the roadway and traveled a bit further north, before Carr stopped the vehicle.
Carr was arrested on the following requested charges, Soldan said.
●Speeding
●Felony flee and elude
●Unsafe turning
●Improper driving on laned roadways
