Police in Council Bluffs are looking for the white female driver of a vehicle who led authorities on a chase early this morning. Officials say at around 1:15-a.m., a Council Bluffs officer located a vehicle stolen from Council Bluffs, on the lot of Super 8 Motel on South 24th St. When the officer and another officer made contact with the stolen vehicle, the female driver exited the vehicle as commanded. Once out of the vehicle, however, the woman refused to follow officer’s commands. She got back in the vehicle and fled northbound on So. 24th St at a high rate of speed. The officers pursed the stolen vehicle west on 23rd Ave then north on So. 35th St.

As the fleeing vehicle was going through the intersection at 35th Street and Broadway, it was struck broadside by a westbound vehicle on West Broadway. The stolen vehicle continued north on N. 35th St and struck a stop sign at N. 35th St and Ave A where it came to a stop. The driver (who is pictured here) fled the scene on foot and officers were unable to locate her. The passengers in the stolen vehicle were not injured and refused to cooperate with officers.

The driver and passenger of the vehicle on Broadway were not injured. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Anyone with information on the suspect driver is asked to call Council Bluffs Police Criminal Investigation Division at 712-328-4728 or Crime Stoppers at 712-328-7867(STOP).
