CASS COUNTY, Neb. (AP) — An Iowa man is facing several charges after fleeing from police in southeast Nebraska. The Cass County (Nebraska) Sheriff’s office says the chase reached speeds up to 130 miles per hour on U.S. Highway 75 Friday morning. 55-year-old Daniel Kessel, of Council Bluffs, stopped briefly after deputies pulled him over around 11:40 a.m. before fleeing northbound.

The 2005 Ford Crown Victoria he was driving wound up in a ditch after Kessel exited the highway without slowing down. Authorities say Kessel was treated at the scene for a possible head injury sustained during the accident, but refused transport. He was taken into custody and transported to the Cass County, Nebraska Jail, where he was charges with suspicion of drunken driving, fleeing to avoid arrest, reckless driving and several other charges.
