A Nebraska man who was being pursued by law enforcement Saturday evening in Fremont County, ended up in the hospital after crashing the car he was driving. The Iowa State Patrol reports 23-year old Jeffrey Jivey, of Omaha, was driving a 2005 Toyota Scion southbound on Interstate 29, at around 5:55-p.m., Saturday, when, in an attempt to elude authorities, he exited I-29 at the Hamburg exit.

The vehicle went off the end of the off-ramp and crossed Highway 333 at a high rate of speed before entering the ditch on the other side. The car came to rest on the drivers’ side. Jivey, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Hamburg Rescue to the hospital in Hamburg.
